Understanding, recognizing and appreciating the realities of Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) in Canada is an important responsibility for all Canadians, new and old.Â
On June 21, 2024, we are delighted to launch our first Truth and Reconciliation Strategy, developed in collaboration with Indigenous advisors. The Strategy aims for the first time in the Settlement Sector, to make concrete, actionable and accountable steps towards integrating T&R into every level of ISSofBC activities and services.Â
If youâre a newcomer to Canada, we can support you with free services including settlement support, career and employment programs, English classes, and refugee services.
