Owen Pelletier is honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation the only way he knows how. Pelletier, who is a mentor with STR8 UP, will spend the day educating. In a conversation that’s been edited for length and clarity, he spoke to the StarPhoenix about his keynote, the new holiday and his personal journey’s intersections with the TRC’s calls to action. Q: How does your story reflect the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action? We as a nation need to understand and acknowledge that this is a part of our history and this really happened.
