FCOA test

Hi, Sorry for the confusion. The next test mail message will contain unsubscribe info, not a link per se but rather just a request to let us know (much simpler to implement!). Thanks, Kathy K

Reconciliation: In Our City, In Our Archives

Monday, Sept 15, 2014 7:00 pm
at the Ottawa Public Library Main Branch (120 Metcalfe)

In recent years, two Canadian truth commissions - the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Qikiqtani Truth Commission (QTC) - have shone light on the devastating impact of federal policies on First Nations and Inuit communities, and on the resulting damage to relations between Aboriginal peoples and settler communities.

Now that we have begun to acknowledge the past, Canadians need to ask what course reconciliation can take and explore the role archives and archival research can play in building new relationships.

**This is a TEST / this is ONLY a TEST**

Hello all,

I'll be sending out a mass email to the FCOA/AAVO subscriber list this week and you are my test subjects! I'll be including an unsubscribe option for those who would like to drop off the mailing list. If you want to experiment and try the link that'd be much appreciated as I need to see if I can monitor the addresses dropped. I promise to add you back afterwards!

Thanks,

Kathy K

P.S. If you notice any franglais, please advise -- merci!
