As school leaders, how might each of us define our role in reconciliation? #OPCLeadLearn
Promotional graphic from the Ontario Principals’ Council featuring the book "52 Ways to Reconcile" by David A. Robertson. The quote reads: “This is one thing I know for sure. Reconciliation is an action. Part of how we move forward is to understand truth, accept it, and then fully explore what our role is.” – David A. Robertson.
