We are grateful to live, work, and be connected with the Indigenous communities from across the many traditional and unceded territories, covering all regions of British Columbia. We are honoured to live on this land and are committed to reconciliation, decolonization, and building relationships with communities while increasing the awareness of Indigenous People among newcomers to these lands.
We are proud to have worked with two Indigenous consultants, Kory Wilson and Tami Pierce, to develop and launch our new Truth and Reconciliation Strategy (TRS).
This multi-year strategy make clear, actionable and accountable committments to Truth and Reconciliation and details how we will it embed it into all our activities, both internally and externally.
As one of Canada’s largest newcomer-serving organizations we have a responsibility to inform newcomers about Indigenous culture and Canada’s full history including the traumas inflicted since contact on the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. We hope our approach will inspire other organizations, both in the private and public sectors, to make similar steps for truly integrating Truth and Reconciliation into its work.
