Winnipeg Human Rights Committee Meeting Notice

The Winnipeg Human Rights Committee is pleased to invite all PSAC members to join us for a screening of the National Film Board of Canada documentary – This River.

From the NFB website:

This short documentary offers an Indigenous perspective on the devastating experience of searching for a loved one who has disappeared. Volunteer activist Kyle Kematch and award-winning writer Katherena Vermette have both survived this heartbreak and share their histories with each other and the audience. While their stories are different, they both exemplify the beauty, grace, resilience, and activism born out of the need to do something.

The film is approximately 20 minutes in length and will be followed by a group discussion. Indigenous snacks will be served. The first 20 people to register will receive an orange t-shirt in honour of the upcoming National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Please note that you must attend the event to receive your t-shirt.

PSAC members who are eligible to participate in the Human Rights Committee, are members who identify as Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, and/or persons with disabilities, are invited to attend a committee meeting prior to the screening.
