Observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Truths need to be spoken, seen and understood.
Avison Young firmly believes in honouring this day. Truths need to be spoken, seen and understood. While this doesn’t resolve all the suffering for Canada’s Indigenous peoples, it is a critical step in addressing the need for reconciliation. We have a long journey ahead and it starts with acknowledging past wrongs in Canada’s history.
At Avison Young, we are encouraging our teammates to help mark this day and offer their support.
Things we can do:
- Take some time for personal reflection.
- Read the 94 Calls to Action provided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. You may also visit the TRC website for many additional resources regarding the Truth and Reconciliation Report.
