CBC Asks: Is reconciliation possible?

A Tuesday night CBC Asks panel explored whether Saskatchewan is ready and willing for reconciliation.

Residents weighed in on what the province has to do to move forward and discussed how they are seeing reconciliation in their own lives.

In 2015, Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission delivered its final report, as well as 94 calls to action urging Canadians to work together to move forward with reconciliation and repair the harm caused by residential schools.

Many individuals and organizations in Saskatchewan have met that call. Buttwo years later, there are still questions about what is being done to fulfil those 94 calls to action.

In the meantime, public discussion around the Gerald Stanley trial shows a province that remains deeply polarized.

"CBC Asks: Is reconciliation possible?" was held at CBC Saskatchewan in Regina.

The Morning Edition's Zarqa Nawaz hosted the panel with Marie Wilson, former commissioner with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, James Daschuk, author of Clearing the Plains, Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess First Nation and Shawna Oochoo, executive director of Regina's White Pony Lodge.

The event waslivestreamed on CBC Saskatchewan's website, Periscope and YouTube.
