Truth and Reconciliation Day

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Our thoughts today are with the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Survivors of the residential school system, and all their relations.

There can be no reconciliation without truth.

Although relations between Indigenous Peoples and the Crown are essentially nation-to-nation, the provinces are explicitly required to act in many of the TRC Calls to Action. 

We encourage all Saskatchewan people to read the TRC's Calls to Action, see here: https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf

Ten years after these calls to action, some of these issues have actually worsened, and few of the actions have been completed. It’s not just about wearing a shirt. Action must be taken.
