Restoring relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples in Canada is a crucial part of bridging the divide between diverse communities and improving livelihoods. It is fundamental for all Canadians to understand the devastating consequences of attempted assimilation that left many First Peoples facing enormous socio-economic challenges. As Canadians, we have a collective duty to confront the past and build relationships across cultures and communities. Reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility, and True North Aid seeks to be an active partner in projects and initiatives that advance the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. True North Aid currently supports reconciliation by providing Reconcili-action grants of up to $25,000 to applicants who can demonstrate a robust plan and method of actively seeking reconciliation in their communities. True North Aid also supports reconciliation through events such as A Taste of Indigenous Canada and the Good Allyship Project.
