Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action Reminder

With the recent discovery of an undocumented mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School, it is important to remember the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Report. As we pass the 6th anniversary of the report’s release, it is disheartening to know these calls to action have been outlined for this many years, with little to no action taken.
