PARC hosts a wide range of events and programs that create space for dialogue, learning, and community connection. From interfaith conversations and reconciliation-focused workshops to student-led research showcases and creative storytelling events, our programming engages with the most pressing issues of our time (locally and globally).
These events are designed to spark reflection, build relationships, and foster deeper understanding across differences. We are grateful to collaborate with students, faculty, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community partners who help shape and support these meaningful gatherings.
