One Book, One Halton Hills - An Evening with David A. Robertson

We are honoured to welcome David A. Robertson to the John Elliott Theatre as we celebrate his book 52 Ways to Reconcile: How to Walk with Indigenous Peoples on the Path to Healing, our One Book, One Halton Hills selection for 2025. David A. Robertson is a bestselling, award-winning author, a proud member of Norway House Cree Nation, and a powerful voice in Canadian literature. He's also the founder of Swift Water Books, the first Indigenous children's imprint within a major Canadian publishing house.

52 Ways to Reconcile is more than just a book. It's a guide, a call to action, and a hopeful roadmap for how each of us can take small but meaningful steps toward reconciliation, one week at a time. It meets people exactly where they are, whether they're just starting the journey or already walking the path. In a time when Canadians are seeking unity, strength, and a deeper understanding of our shared identity, this book offers us 52 achievable acts of reconciliation - things like watching Indigenous TV shows, supporting Indigenous artists, or engaging with Indigenous voices on social media. Many of these actions are enjoyable, eye-opening, and best of all, doable.
