Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
The TRC’s mandate was to inform all Canadians about what happened in residential schools. The TRC documented the truth of Survivors, their families, communities and anyone personally affected by the residential school experience.
Indigenous Peoples in Canada
Indigenous peoples have been in Canada since time immemorial. They formed complex social, political, economic and cultural systems before Europeans came to North America.
TRC – Calls To Action
After consultation with Indian Residential School survivors and their families over a number of years, The TRC developed a list of “calls to action” designed to “redress the legacy of residential schools and to advance the process of Canadian reconciliation.” This document was published in 2012.
PSII acknowledges and thanks the lək̓ʷəŋən People, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, for the opportunity to learn and to celebrate on their lands. Lək̓ʷəŋən means “Place to smoke herring”, and lək̓ʷəŋiʔnəŋ refers to the language of the land. Lək̓ʷəŋən traditionally, and still to-date, unites the Esquimalt and Songhees peoples as one people.
