This past year has been very difficult, from the challenges of COVID-19 to the discoveries made at former residential schools and acknowledgment of the injustices Indigenous Peoples face. While we celebrate this amazing place we call home on Canada Day, we must also be honest about our history and pledge to build a better future for everyone.
We remain committed to the hard work and reflection that is required to reach true reconciliation. Recently, 3 bills were passed to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action to help enhance Indigenous rights. While that is progress, more must be done.
