Productive Pastimes: Indigeneity & Reconciliation

Looking for a hobby? 📖 Want to meet new people? 🫂 Yearn to see the world through the eyes of another? This productive pastime is the one for you!🤩

In a time where division runs deep and loneliness born from lack of genuine conversation, this book club is one where we invite students to delve into a series of social issues to learn of different narratives that exist to appreciate the complexity of social issues. We meet once a month and you can read book from our recommended list or others that pique your interest so long as they fit the topic.
