Come visit Lakehead University to view "Youth on Reconciliation: Imagine a Canada" Exhibit - Legacy of Hope Foundation and Library and Archives Canada, which will be on display in the Agora January 12, 2026 - January 23, 2026. This exhibition explores the concept of Reconciliation through artistic expression and what it means to youth in Canada. The banners feature artwork and poems by winners of the first Imagine a Canada competition, announced in March of 2016. Imagine a Canada is an annual national art and essay competition sponsored by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in collaboration with Rideau Hall. It asked young people to share their thoughts on what the future of Canada can look like through the lens of hope, respect, and Reconciliation.
