This could only happen, the Commissioners insisted, through an understanding of the legacies of colonization. “History plays an important role in reconciliation,” they argued; “to build for the future, Canadians must look to, and learn from, the past.” It is not only the history of the residential school system that needs to be understood; the longer history of Indigenous- Settler relations is also relevant.HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES   Certificate/diploma   Online Credit options  62

Featuring the birds commonly seen in Victoria in the spring and summer, this course provides a general introduction to birding, including how to identify the birds we see in our backyards and on our field trips. The joy of spring is proclaimed in the song of birds, so we will learn the skills to identify many local species by their songs and calls.
