Dr. Marie Wilson (CM, ONWT, MSC) spent six and a half years crisscrossing Canada as a Commissioner of the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission, drawing on skills and knowledge from her award-winning journalism career as a regional and national radio and television reporter and program host. As Regional Director for CBC North she championed northern inclusion and reflection, developing the North’s first ever daily TV news programs, Northbeat and Iqalaaq. She has spoken in various parts of North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and South America on the continuing potential of reconciliation.
NORTH OF NOWHERE: Song of a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner is a personal reflection on a highly public journey as intimately experienced by Commissioner Wilson. The book will be pre-launched for Northwords.
