I am pleased to announce that Dr. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s appointment as Director of the Residential School History and Dialogue Centre has been extended for a second term, commencing June 1, 2021.

Dr. Turpel-Lafond has been director of the centre since its inception in 2018. Since that time, she has worked to establish the centre as a leading institution for culturally informed, reciprocal, community-led research, education and dialogues in partnership with Indigenous communities, Survivors and the university.

Dr. Turpel-Lafond and her team have ensured the centre works in service to Indigenous communities and peoples of Canada. UBC is fortunate to have Dr. Turpel-Lafond at the helm of this important centre and we look forward to its continued evolution under her leadership. Please join me in congratulating her.
