Speaker event on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Hill is a retired teacher and current secretary/treasurer of Mohawk Village Memorial Park, a not-for-profit charity run by a group of residential school survivors.

The group's mandate is to build a memorial park dedicated to all the children who attended the Mohawk Institute Residential School over its 142 years.

The speaker event will include a one-hour presentation followed by a live Q&A session.

Participants will have a unique opportunity to hear firsthand Hill's story and gain a deeper understanding of the personal impact of the residential school system.
