Downie & Wenjack Legacy Space
The Peterborough Public Library and our funding partners are proud to be the first public library recognized as a Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Legacy Space.
Legacy Spaces are safe, welcoming places where conversations and education about Indigenous history – and our collective journey towards reconciliation – are encouraged and supported. They also serve as symbols and reminders of the important work we must undertake in responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.
Thank you to our founding funding partners:
The Peterborough Public Library is committed to providing programs, collections and services to support our community in Truth and Reconciliation learning and action. Our strategic plan acknowledges the importance of this work, and we want our library to be a place that can help the greater community learn about Indigenous experiences.
We want to ensure that the library’s spaces, programs, services, and collections include Nogojiwanong’s Indigenous communities and that we celebrate Indigenous voices and stories.
