Honouring Truth, Reconciliation and the Path Forward

We recognize that reconciliation requires more than reflection. It calls for listening, learning and an ongoing commitment to truth, accountability and meaningful action. As we reflect on this day, we encourage our community to continue learning from Indigenous voices, histories and experiences, while honouring the strength, resilience and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
