Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission is working to revitalize the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens.

Every year the library brings in guest authors to discuss timely topics throughout the Fraser Valley. “We are proud to host Monique Gray Smith. Her exceptional work invites us all to be active participants on the journey to Truth and Reconciliation,” says Heather Scoular, Director of Customer Experience.

Gray Smith is a mixed-heritage woman of Cree, Lakota and Scottish descent. She is an award-winning author, international speaker and sought-after consultant. Monique launched her business Little Drum Consulting in 1996. Since then, she has built her career on fostering paradigm shifts that emphasize the strength and resiliency of the First Peoples in Canada.
