A Pivotal Time, A Sacred Place, A Permanent Legacy
You can be a part of the change that our country needs. Your gift will help create a place where the truths are not forgotten, where the courage of Residential Schools Survivors can guide us to a better future.
When the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) was established, Survivors had a vision to create a place where the truths of their residential school experiences would be honoured and kept safe for future generations. You can help make this vision a reality.
In its new permanent home the NCTR will be an international attraction for its cutting-edge work where history and Indigenous cultures come to life. It will be a safe space for Survivors to come together to share their knowledge and experiences, a place family members may visit for healing and to reconnect with lost histories and loved ones, a place where children, families, and people from all walks of life can embark on their own journey of reconciliation… a place where the fire of truth and reconciliation will burn forever.
As the NCTR and the University of Manitoba embark on a $40 million fundraising campaign to build the Centre’s new home, we invite you to be part of this legacy project.
“While we cannot change our past, we can change our future. Let’s do that together.” Stephanie Scott, Executive Director, NCTR

NCTR’s spirit name – bezhig miigwan, meaning “one feather”.
Bezhig miigwan calls upon us to see each Survivor coming to the NCTR as a single eagle feather and to show those Survivors the same respect and attention an eagle feather deserves. It also teaches we are all in this together — we are all one, connected, and it is vital to work together to achieve reconciliation.
