Bestselling author David A. Robertson joins us to discuss his guide for all Canadians to understand how small and attainable acts towards reconciliation can make an enormous difference in our collective efforts to build a reconciled country.
52 Ways to Reconcile offers a roadmap for one year of small, weekly acts of reconciliation. Each of the 52 steps takes readers towards a healthier relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and a time when we are past trauma.
David A. Robertson speaks with CBC Radio host Elamin Abdelmahmoud about this essential guide for our collective effort towards reconciliation, as people, and as a country.
Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
