The OCUL Truth and Reconciliation Committee (OCUL-TR) identifies strategies and initiatives to support collective and individual OCUL member responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Calls to Action and Universities Canada’s 13 Principles on Indigenous Education.
OCUL is committed to supporting its member libraries in the ongoing work to advance the TRC Calls to Action. OCUL-TR, in consultation with community members, identifies areas where collective action – locally and provincially – can help the consortium, member libraries and communities move forward.
The committee collaborates with and provides support for the learning and work of groups advancing transformative change in libraries, higher education and the knowledge sector, and explores how OCUL might engage with, promote, and/or apply frameworks for Indigenous research and information governance.
OCUL-TR was established in 2023.
