"The museum is a platform to share stories, to create belonging. It's about relationships, human rights & it's about community." @CMHR_News held a public engagement session to help inform their new strategic plan: Our Path Forward. Lots of great discussions & lots of work to do.
It has been a week of storytelling, but how very special to be invited by our LG, the Honourable Anita Neville, to do so in her home. Thanks to all who came out!🙏🏽
