Summary
In June 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Calls to Action report. The report listed 94 Calls to Action that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission wants enacted in order to redress the legacy of residential schools.
As requested by City Council, the Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Division (EDHR), in consultation with the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee (AAAC), has identified eight Calls to Action that recognize the role of municipalities. These eight Calls to Action are related to health, reconciliation, professional development and training, museum and archives, National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, commemoration, sports and reconciliation and newcomers to Canada.
This report outlines the progress made by the City, in partnership with the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee, in implementing the relevant eight Calls to Action.
