Indigenous Communities

We were appalled and saddened to learn of the discovery of the remains of children at several residential schools across Canada. The news of this unthinkable loss is a heartbreaking reminder of the dark side of our nation's past and our collective need to continue to work towards rectifying past injustices and healing the ongoing intergenerational impacts that continue to this day.

We support Indigenous leaders in calling for a deeper examination of the residential school system to foster truth and reconciliation. Our thoughts are with all our Indigenous brothers and sisters, friends and clients across Canada.

To learn more about the residential school experience and the treatment of Indigenous Peoples in Canada or to read the Principles of Reconciliation put forward by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, please visit the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at https://nctr.ca/.
