Reconciliation. So much more.

To me, reconciliation is about creating mutually respectful relationships with First Nations Community members, learning about Aboriginal history and culture, listening to stories of the past, and working toward a future that does not segregate First Nations...As Canadians, we must collectively work for reconciliation. We must recognize that reconciliation is not a short-lived act of compromise, but a practice that lives in our homes schools, workplaces, and governments. For Canadians from all backgrounds, reconciliation offers a path toward a brighter future.
