Students visit Regina after submitting drawings for reconciliation initiative

If art is the highest form of hope, Saskatchewan’s children are taking it one step further.

Ten young people from across the province were honoured for their efforts May 12 after participating in the Imagine A Canada initiative that saw them create art to further reconciliation and reflect what they want to see for the future of the country. They gathered at Government House in Regina where they also met representatives from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield.

“Imagine A Canada is a relatively new initiative from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation,” Vivian Gauvin, Prairie South School Division First Nations and Metis consultant told the Times-Herald. “The hope is overtime, teachers and students and community members will become familiar with it and it’s importance.”
