Truth, Honour & The Way Forward Exhibit
Join us online to view this special exhibit that took place from October 13 -19, 2023. Artifacts of learning were created by students at Ucluelet Secondary School, after listening to personal stories from Knowledge Holders and residential school Survivors.
These artifacts include poetry, orange shirts, research projects, and investigations into the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls To Action.
Additionally, the newest exhibit from the Legacy of Hope Foundation was on display: Indian Day Schools in Canada – an Introduction.
The opening reception featured drumming & poetry readings by students plus the Tofino Poet Laureate.
Poetry books and orange t-shirts designed by USS student Koyah Morgan-Bank are available for purchase at the exhibit or online. All proceeds support student-led National Truth and Reconciliation projects & exhibits at Ucluelet Secondary School.
This exhibit was possible thanks to a partnership with the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, Ucluelet Secondary School, and the Legacy of Hope Foundation.
