Centre head says Winnipeg will be home to the most important conversations in the country’s history

Winnipeg is being called “ground zero” for the continuing conversation in Canada on residential schools and racism with the opening of the National Centre of Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba.

“I think it’s a big deal. And I think it’s not just a big deal for Winnipeg but it’s a big deal for what’s happening in the country as well,” said centre director Ry Moran.

“I moved from Victoria to Winnipeg, people often ask me why I did that and I say, ‘I can’t think of a better place to be in the country right now for these type of conversations,” Moran said.
