As we recognize Truth and Reconciliation Day, it is an important time for reflection and understanding. Today, we honor the rich history, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada, while also acknowledging the injustices and trauma experienced by so many through the residential school system. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and culturally aware environment, not just today, but every day. We recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey that requires active participation, education, and open dialogue. On this day, I encourage all of us to take the time to listen, learn, and engage with Indigenous voices, and to consider how we can contribute to the work of healing and building stronger, more inclusive communities. Let’s walk this path together. #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousPeoples #EveryChildMatters

This day honors the survivors and victims of the residential school system and deepens our understanding of the lasting impact this tragic chapter of history has had on Indigenous communities across Canada. But reconciliation goes beyond acknowledgment—it demands a commitment to change. It requires listening, learning, and standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities to address ongoing inequalities. It’s about recognizing that the work of reconciliation doesn’t end with awareness but continues with our actions. We all have a role to play in this journey, from advocating for Indigenous rights to supporting initiatives that amplify Indigenous voices and cultures. This day invites each of us to challenge ourselves: How can we contribute to a future built on understanding, respect, and justice for Indigenous peoples? Let’s remember that reconciliation is an ongoing process—one that needs consistent effort and reflection, not just on September 30th, but every day. #TruthAndReconciliation #LearnAndReflect #CommitToChange
