Back on Dec. 17, 1990, Pelke, who was 14-years-old at the time, was the victim of a disturbing attack. He survived but his friend Curtis Klassen, who was also attacked, did not.

The incident, that took place in his hometown of Altona, Manitoba, was made into an award-winning documentary called Altona.

Following Pelke’s speech, there will be an hour break from 5 to 6:15 p.m. where bannock tacos will be provided from Daystone Catering.

From 6:15 to 8 p.m. the symposium will be wrapped up by a panel discussion with questions from the audience. The discussion panel will be moderated by Dr. Stephen Brown, with panelists Tyler Pelke, Dr. Anomi Bearden, Dr. Jones Adjei, Nicole Jones, Darnel Forro, and Jessica Dewald.

Tickers for the event are $7 each.
