FORUM FLASH This year’s spring sessions saw over 200 students from every province and territory come to Ottawa to share and learn. Special occasions like attending the delivery of the Budget or getting a tour of East Block from MPs made for a very exciting year. Participants from the third session, from March 25-30, had the honour of hearing from Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. He spoke to them about First Nations in Canada, the residential schools system and the healing process that is now underway. @forum4yc www.forum.ca |

"It was important to hear the real story of what happened in order to educate others." Katherine, NT "Justice Sinclair opened my eyes to something I had no knowledge of before. He made me want to make a difference." Pascale, BC "I really liked his ideas and his encouragement." Cassidy, MB |
