Steps Toward Reconciliation

While in the Indigenous based English course, NBE 3UI, I have been focusing on the topic of renaming institutions, schools, and road names that are based off derogatory or offensive names for my journalism assignment. I have researched a lot about the renaming of the formerly Ryerson University and the steps toward that. I do believe that it may not be a definite solution to the many Indigenous issues that are present, but it is a great first step towards reconciliation. In this course, we have also dug deeper into residential schools. Learning about all the devastating events that occurred in them, I think it's crucial that we start making real steps towards reconciliation.
