Resources for Truth & Reconciliation

 

On September 30th, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, take time to learn.

What is truth and reconciliation?

"In 2008, following mass litigation and the outcry of Survivors of the residential schools for justice and healing, Canada launched the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This Commission was intended not only to bring the voices of Survivors forward, but to fundamentally shift the national narrative away from a culture of domination and oppression and towards a culture of respect, reciprocity and understanding."
