Did you know?

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was established in 2008 to investigate the Indian Residential School (IRS) system and its impact on Indigenous Peoples in Canada. The TRC released its final report in 2015, which included 94 Calls to Action. These calls to action are actionable policy recommendations aimed at acknowledging the full history of the residential schools system and creating systems to prevent such abuses from ever happening again in the future. Rachel has posted a QR code to the 94 calls to action around the school. Stay tuned for a new contest!
