Truth and Reconciliation

Office of Dialogue and Reconciliation

The Office of Dialogue and Reconciliation seeks to help create better relations between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people through various kinds of dialogue workshops.  The workshops may be parish-based (such as the Listening to Indigenous Voices program).  Or they may be inter-parish, like the dialogue series that has been running for many years between St Ignatius and St. Kateri parishes. If your parish or group would be interested in participating in movement of reconciliation through a workshop or in another way, contact Brother Thomas Novak, OMI.

The traditional meeting place of the Anishinaabe and Métis people finds a home in the official Archdiocese of Winnipeg coat of arms.

The Y-shape in our Archdiocesan Coat of Arms alludes to the Forks where the Red and Assiniboine rivers converge at Winnipeg to form a single stream. This was the traditional meeting place of Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba.

We acknowledge that the Archdiocese of Winnipeg resides as the lands of Treaty 1 territory and the homeland of the Métis Nation. We worship and operate on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe. In the spirit of truth, reconciliation, and collaboration, we honour our relationship with Indigenous Peoples and respect the contributions of history, culture, and language of Canada’s original peoples.
