The intent of the day is to reflect upon and commemorate the legacy of residential schools, murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, and to become more aware of our collective responsibilities to Truth and Reconciliation with First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities.
In recent years, Canadians have begun working towards Truth and Reconciliation with First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. While there is much left to do, all Canadians must be committed to working towards resolving the harm and traumas of Indigenous peoples and communities by listening, learning and working together to take meaningful action.
No matter who you are or where you’re from, you can take peaceful and respectful actions to help make a better Canada for Inuit and First Nations and Métis people.
Learn more about Canada’s colonial history and the injustices faced by Indigenous communities. We must learn and educate ourselves.
We encourage everyone in the land trust community to learn more about how you can actively take steps towards Truth and Reconciliation. Find resources to help you on your journey under Indigenous Learning Resources at our Resource Centre.
