"It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer The officials have arrived and the children must go." So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7,000 Survivor statements and 5 million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources. A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), gathers material from the TRC reports to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools and inform the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. An afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the NCTR, home to the archive of recordings and documents collected by the TRC.

On the origin of the deadliest pandemic in 100 years : an investigation

By Dewar, Elaine, author. | 2021

View in TRACPac

"In On the Origin of the Worst Pandemic in 100 Years: An Investigation, prize-winning author and journalist Elaine Dewar spins a compulsive whodunnit. From the first television newscast describing a SARS-like flu affecting a distant Chinese metropolis, she began to ask key questions: Was SARS-CoV-2 something that came from nature, as leading scientists insisted? Or a lab? Why was Wuhan, the Chicago of China, the pandemic's ground zero? Why were governments so slow to respond? Who is Shi Zhengli, Wuhan's "Bat Woman"? What light did her experiments shed on the pandemic's origin? Who are Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng, and what is their connection to the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Why were they marched out of Winnipeg's National Microbiology Laboratory by the RCMP? What role did controversial gain-of-function experiments play in the development of SARS-CoV-2? Why is the government of China refusing to cooperate with the WHO as it tries to get to the bottom of things? Who, or what, is D.R.A.S.T.I.C.? Reading the science, following the money, connecting the geopolitical interests to the spin, Dewar shows you how leading science journals got it wrong leaving it to interested citizens and junior scientists to pull out the truth."-- Provided by publisher.

Everything I never dreamed : my life surviving and standing up to domestic violence

By Glenn, Ruth M., author | 2022

View in TRACPac

"The raw, uplifting, and unforgettable memoir from the CEO and president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence chronicling her personal battle against abuse, violence, and even a murder attempt. Ruth M. Glenn wasn't surprised the first time her husband beat her. She was hurt and disappointed but after a childhood in a broken and violent home, she was not surprised. After all, this was just the way things were, right? It was only after she lay bleeding in a carwash parking lot, after being shot three times by him, that Glenn resolved-if she managed to survive-to spend the rest of her life combating domestic violence. Now, she brings her full story to the forefront with this survivor's tale crossed with a rousing call to action. With her evocative and thoughtful voice, Glenn explores the reasons why men beat and kill women, why women and children are seen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all. A memoir of resilience and courage, Everything I Never Dreamed is a necessary book that proves that abuse does not have to define a survivor's entire life"-- Provided by publisher.

Feeling seen : reconnecting in a disconnected world

By Carrington, Jody, author | 2023

View in TRACPac

Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together--a reconnection revolution. Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn't enough any longer. Connection is what we're wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we've been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we're feeling seen, we will rise. Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see--in ourselves as well as one another--our differences, our sorrows and our joys.
