Indigenous Educational Resources

This Canada Day, we encourage local residents and families to learn and reflect on the history of Indigenous people in Canada. There is much work to do to address and repair the intergenerational trauma caused by the treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada, including but not limited to, the residential school system. Educating yourself is one way we can all build toward reconciliation.

• Learn about and view resources from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, a place of learning and dialogue about residential schools.
• Read about the first stage of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada about residential schools that concluded in 2015.
• Read about the history of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem First Nation) in this area.
• Click here for a variety of resources and information on National Indigenous History Month each June, which recognizes the history, heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in Canada.

Thank you to our sponsors and partners!
