Red River College has created a new role to help implement the 94 calls-to-action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Carla Kematch is its new manager for Truth and Reconciliation and Community Engagement with Red River College, and shares her experience that suited her for the task.

“What’s great about the experience I have is I have worked at the grass-roots levels,” explains Kematch. “I have developed art programming for the inner city. I’ve worked at policy with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. I’ve worked with the private sector and government sector with various projects, and I’m committed to building capacity within Manitoba’s indigenous community.”

Part of Kematch’s role is to develop training programs with college staff, as well as implementing the Blanket Exercise.

“It’s a role-playing training program that simulates the experiences of individuals while the treaty-making process was happening,” she says.
