NCTR receives $20M to build permanent home at UManitoba

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba is receiving $20M from the Government of Manitoba to build a permanent home. This new facility—located on land gifted by UManitoba—will be what MB Premier Wab Kinew calls an “international learning lodge” that includes exhibits, ceremonial spaces, and places for educational programming and research. It will also house documents related to the residential school system. “With this support, we will be able to build a space that honours survivors, protects their truths, and welcomes people from across Canada to learn and walk the path of reconciliation,” said NTCR Executive Director Stephanie Scott.
