For A Day to Listen, journalist Connie Walker reflects on how hard Residential School Survivors fought to have their stories heard, and what could be lost if records of their testimony are destroyed. Speaking as both a journalist and an intergenerational Survivor, Connie reminds us why Survivors’ voices and choices must remain at the centre of this conversation. Turn on the radio and hear more from Connie and other speakers throughout A Day To Listen tomorrow. Learn more at adaytolisten.ca #ADayToListen #NDTR
