Today, we join in recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a time for reflection, learning, and honouring the path towards reconciliation.
2025 marks the 10th year since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Final Report and 94 Calls to Action — an important reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing journey.
We invite you to visit the following resources to learn more about the importance of Truth and Reconciliation from Indigenous-led organizations across Canada.
