Event Details:

The UNB Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action Committee is proud to host Kevin Lamoureux, Associate Vice President Indigenous Affairs, University of Winnipeg, who will present “Meeting the TRC’s calls to action.”

This presentation is part a series of speakers sponsored by the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action Committee of UNB. This committee is working across all campuses of UNB to ensure the TRC calls to action are supported and implemented at UNB.  As part of this committee’s work, we are sponsoring a series of speakers for students, staff, faculty and the public.

Kevin Lamoureux is a dedicated educator who is strengthening The University of Winnipeg’s mission to reach out to non-traditional students and provide more pathways into post-secondary education. As a gifted and engaged member of the Faculty of Education’s ACCESS program, Lamoureux has developed expertise in groundbreaking mentorship and inclusion programs as well as self- governance models within Aboriginal education.

He recently authored Inclusion in Partnership with the Winnipeg School Division and École River Heights School which offers a guide for educators looking to include Aboriginal perspectives into their classrooms.  He is a recent recipient of The Robin H. Farquhar Award for Excellence in Contributing to Self-Governance.  Kevin is also the lead author of Mentoring in a Canadian Context (2008) which is based on the belief that all students deserve to be engaged, challenged and supported, and schools and university can play a role in ensuring this is possible.

Kevin is an inspiring speaker who will engage you in thinking about how we can all work towards implementing the Calls to Actions of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
