With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation arriving as a moment of reflection for all Canadians, Donnovan sheds some light on Indigenous athletes and coaches across the country. First, Natteal Battiste, Boxer and Council Member at Acadia First Nation, opens up about the trials and tribulations that have made her into the person, and fighter, she is today. Afterwards, Donnovan speaks to former NHL head coach Ted Nolan about his journey through hockey as both athlete and coach, and also visits with Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Heritage, on the importance of the sports related calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation report and creating pathways in sport that work for Indigenous communities. Plus, Donnovan also catches up with Trechelle Bunn, who founded the Reconciliation Run as a varsity hockey player and law student at the University of Manitoba.
