Please be aware that Robertson Library will be closed this upcoming Monday, September 30th, in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Starting September 27th, we will have a special display available in the lobby library featuring an array of resources that can better educate us on the themes of truth and reconciliation. In anticipation of Mi'kmaq History month, you can also expect to find resources on the Mi'kmaq peoples, Epekwitk (the land otherwise called Prince Edward Island), and the deeply harmful use of Residential and Day schools within the Canadian Maritimes.

There is also an excellent educational display called "Yes, Here Too" in Kelley Memorial Building Room that explores the shameful history of Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in Canada's Maritimes. You can read more about this here.
