TRUTH & RECONCILIATION COMMISSION CALLS TO ACTION 

The report of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada documented the brutal treatment of Indigenous children in residential schools.  Canadian society continues to perpetuate the colonialism and racism that was inherent in the settlement of Canada and in the residential school system.  Reconciliation requires us to commit ourselves on a national, regional and local level to developing respectful, responsible relationships with Indigenous peoples.
