NIC Nursing students present Jordan River Anderson: The Messenger

NIC nursing students present the documentary Jordan River Anderson: The Messenger as part of the NIC Global Learning Initiative.

NIC’s Global Learning Initiative is a student-driven project which fosters awareness of global issues through partnerships with local communities and individuals.

The film, the 52nd by Alanis Obomsawin, tells the story of how the life of Jordan River Anderson initiated a battle for the right of Indigenous children to receive the same standard of social, health and educational services as the rest of the Canadian population.

Discussion with NIC Elder in Residence, Dr. Evelyn Voyageur to follow the film.

Fair trade coffee and chocolate will also be available for purchase.
