What is Reconciliation?

Reconciliation is the ongoing process of healing relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It means recognizing and addressing the legacy of colonialism, honouring Indigenous rights and treaties, and creating systems that reflect equity, respect, and mutual benefit.

True reconciliation is not a single act or moment—it’s a long-term commitment to justice, truth, and shared prosperity.

To forget history is to forget the lessons learnt. To forget the lessons learnt is to repeat the mistakes made. In order to truly reconcile, we must first acknowledge our history, acknowledge the pain and the mistakes. Only then can the steps be taken, to build a relationship based on respect and partnership.
