NINETY MINUTES NORTHWEST OF THE GREATER TORONTO AREA AT BOBCAYGEON, “a group of Settlers living in the Kawarthas on Michi Saagiig Anishinaabe Territory … are learning about Truth & Reconciliation and have a sincere desire to make some positive contributions to promote awareness to other settlers in our community.”
See the TRC Bobcaygeon Community’s rich website to read about events and workshops taking place in Bobcaygeon, and read their blog and the many colonial-myth-busting resources they have gathered to share (see, for example, “Colonial History” and “Eight Actions You Can Start Today”) as they seek to “expand [their] understanding of the history of this land beyond a colonial perspective.”
