The choice is yours, recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with either or both Indigenous-led sessions.
Truth & Reconciliation 101:

Discover how the Calls to Action apply to you and steps you can take to become an authentic ally.
Truth & Reconciliation 102:
Policies, Legacies, and Change
Uncover the critical, often overlooked aspects of Indigenous history and contemporary issues. Understand the lasting impact of colonial policies and the ongoing resilience and activism of Indigenous communities.
Learn about key amendments to the Indian Act that continue to affect Indigenous communities
Dive deeper into the relevance and current status of treaties and the Land Back movement
