NCTR receives $2M to build permanent home at UManitoba

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) has received $2M from Canada Life and the Power Corporation of Canada towards a $40M capital campaign focused on building a permanent home for the NCTR at the University of Manitoba. “This gift will help us build our international learning lodge, where the truths are protected, where history is never forgotten nor denied, and where all are welcome to visit to know more about residential schools, and the impacts they have had on Indigenous Peoples, their families and communities,” said NCTR Executive Director Stephanie Scott. Construction on the facility will begin in 2026; it is expected to open in 2029.
