As an organization, we are striving to learn from Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing, and to use our art to engage actively with the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s Calls to Action.  

In acknowledging (re)conciliation as action-based, the CCC has commissioned Yellowknife composer Carmen Braden to compose a multi-movement work about water from both non-Indigenous and Indigenous perspectives. The piece, entitled Where Waters Meet (WWM), includes texts by the composer, by the singers, and by Indigenous poet Yolanda Bonnell.

We invite you to learn more about it, in advance of its premiere on October 12.
