A rising conflict in Edmonton

November 25, 2018 12:06 am MST.

Reconciliation in Solidarity Edmonton, known by their social media handles as RISEdmonton, started almost 4 years ago after the final Truth and Reconciliation Commission event in Edmonton. In the last few weeks, a new RISE Edmonton has risen, this one an initiative of Apathy Is Boring, a non-profit that seeks to engage youth in politics. The similar name is not a welcome sight for the founder of the original.
