About Ry Moran
Since 2023, Ry Moran has assisted the Conservatory through a guest faculty appointment in Music and Reconciliation. He aims to celebrate the role of music in advancing Truth and Reconciliation, while also helping explore the responsibilities carried by music centers like the Victoria Conservatory in its mission of learning, performance, and wellness. At the same time, Ry has continued work on an album and the ongoing production of his podcast Taapwaywin. The project is supported by the City of Victoria’s Music Strategy program and an Operating Grant from the CRD.

A multi-instrumentalist, electronic music composer, podcaster, and member of the Red River Métis, Ry is more often known as one of Canada’s central figures in Truth and Reconciliation. Growing up in Victoria Ry moved Winnipeg in 2010 to serve as the Director of Statement Gathering for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He then served as the founding Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and is presently the Associate University Librarian – Reconciliation at the University of Victoria, the first of its kind in the country.

Ry’s passion for teaching, arts and music is abundant. His commitment to the principles of Truth and Reconciliation is unwavering.
