We will continue to take direction from the lived experience of Indigenous participants and amplify their voices to ensure our innovative programs and powerful advocacy incorporate the Calls to Action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Reports. As we honour the truth and reconcile for the future, we will develop new partnerships to serve our Indigenous community and foster a more inclusive Canada. For anyone who requires support, the National Residential School Crisis Line is 1-866-925-4419.
