Episode 78: Stories That Move Us Forward: The Path to Truth and Reconciliation

Posted by & filed under CREA News.

Everyone’s path to truth and reconciliation can look different, but the first step often begins the same way: listening to the stories and experiences of others.

Stories can challenge perspectives, open doors for meaningful dialogue, and  carry important teachings forward. They can also connect us through shared emotions and experiences,  encourage reflection, and help us consider our own role in truth and reconciliation.

On this episode of REAL TIME, Mike Downie, Sue Heddle, and Michael Linkater each bring their own journeys and perspectives to the conversation. They share the stories that have shaped their paths as community leaders and storytellers, and why listening and learning is an important place to begin.
