CALL TO ACTION #92 Truth and Reconciliation IN CANADA
Declaration of Commitments to Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
Whereas:
- Canadians generally understand that Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples lacks equity and is fraught with conflict;
- Canada has committed to a new phase of truth, Reconciliation and renewed relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples.
We therefore commit to take action by:
- Acknowledging that Reconciliation is a natural aspect of the practice and values of the construction and design education community and worthy of organization-wide effort;
- Become Reconciliation competent in general;
- Creating opportunities for staff to explore the relevance of the Calls to Action on Truth and Reconciliation to construction and design in Canada particularly with regards to lands and resources, social equity, and renewing relationships in business and governance;
- Evaluating the effectiveness of our actions by measuring levels of awareness, action and collaborative partnerships.
