BIG NEWS FOR THE ADR COMMUNITY IN MANITOBA!

In September, the ADR Institute of Manitoba and Family Mediation Manitoba signed a Memorandum of Understanding that officially brings these two organizations together as one, under the ADRIM banner! In fact, just days ago we formally welcomed 22 members of FMM into our brand new FAMILY SECTION. Now, ADR practitioners in Manitoba can speak with one voice to the relevant issues that are important in our province and to our members.

Many individuals worked hard for months and years to bring this exciting reality to fruition.
Come celebrate with us on Conflict Resolution Day!

The ADR Institute of Manitoba is hosting an event with Mr. Ry Moran, Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Join us!


Ry Moran - Director

As the first Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), it is Ry Moran’s job to guide the development, growth and reach of the NCTR. Ry came to the centre directly from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) where he served as the Director of Statement Gathering and the National Research Centre. On the TRC’s behalf, he facilitated the gathering of nearly 7,000 video/audio-recorded statements of former Residential School Students and others affected by the Residential School system. He was also responsible for gathering the documentary history of the Residential School system from more than 20 government departments and nearly 100 church archives – millions of records in all. Ry’s professional skills have earned him many awards, including a Governor General’s Meritorious Service Cross and a National Aboriginal Role Model Award. Prior to the TRC, Ry was active in many areas including indigenous language preservation and the arts. Ry is a proud member of the Red River Metis.

Also... help ADRIM welcome the new subsection of Family Mediators!
