Nine years ago today, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Final Report. We stand in solidarity with Survivors and their families for sharing their stories, and honour Chief Commissioner Murray Sinclair on his leadership in advancing 94 Calls to Action, which remains vital in our journey towards reconciliation. Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Reports: https://ow.ly/AC5950Urklt. On June 2024, the AFN released an annual report card to measure the progress on realizing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action and found that the Government of Canada has failed to demonstrate a meaningful implementation of the Call to Actions. We will continue to advocate for the complete implementation of the 94 Calls to Action in support of Survivors, families, and First Nations across Turtle Island.

Hot take: Winning an Edmonton Tourism Awards is like landing the last donut in the office – it’s sweet, satisfying, and you definitely earned it. The Edmonton Tourism Awards are more than just a pat on the back. They’re celebrating the hotels, attractions, restaurants, and all the amazing people who put Edmonton on the map as a must-visit destination. These awards recognize the rockstars creating memorable experiences, building community connections, and boosting our city’s visitor economy. These awards highlight how our tourism industry drives growth, supports local businesses, and makes Edmonton the thriving city we all love. Just like the cowboys wrangling bulls at CFR, Edmonton wrangles events and turns them into city-wide celebrations. Don’t keep the best spots to yourself—tag them here so they can take home more than just a five-star Google review. https://lnkd.in/g3q3rvyv Global TV Edmonton | Edmonton International Airport (YEG) | Alberta Counsel | OEG Inc.

Had the chance to attend the YWCA Rose Campaign today—a powerful reminder of the importance of standing together to end gender-based violence. Grateful for the work YWCA is doing and for everyone who showed up to support this important cause

For the funding team at #AlbertaCounsel the entire process of securing grants is always as much about the #communityimpact as it is the dollar amount. Which is why we are thrilled knowing that children spending time at the Centre for Young Parents in #GrandePrairie will soon be enjoying a state-of-the-art mud kitchen thanks to a grant from the #CityofGrandePrairie. Remember always the words of #GeorgeBernardShaw: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” #funding #grants #grantwriting
