Voices of McMaster: Reflections on July 1

The past few years have highlighted a range of challenges and inequities in society at large and within Canada. In light of this, we have asked a range of university thought leaders to share what they are reflecting on come July 1st.

June 30, 2021

The past few years have highlighted a range of challenges and inequities in society at large and within Canada, including acts of hate against the Asian, Black and Muslim communities and other groups.

Most recently, we have collectively mourned the recovery of Indigenous children’s remains at the sites of two former residential schools in Kamloops, BC and Saskatchewan. This has led many to take time to reflect this Canada Day.

In light of this, we have asked a range of McMaster scholars and other university thought leaders to share what they’re reflecting on and to share resources to consider during this more muted holiday.
