    Truth & Reconciliation for All Staff: Understanding Residential Schools, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Inclusion Imperative
    T    he recent discovery of 1,308 unmarked graves at the former sites of various Indian Residential Schools in Kamloops, B.C. (Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation), Penelakut Island, B.C. (Penelakut Tribe), Cranbrook, B.C. (Ktunaxa Nation) and Marieval, Sask (Cowessess First Nation), and another discovery of a possible mass grave at the site of the Brandon, Manitoba Indian Residential School is reminding Indigenous people of their horrific past and simultaneously hitting a nerve with Canadians. A recent poll identified that 93 percent of Canadians are aware of the discovery of remains at the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, with 58 percent of Canadians (employees) following the news closely.

    The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was officially launched in 2008 as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (IRSSA). Intended to be a process that would guide Canadians through the difficult discovery of the facts behind the residential school system, the TRC was also meant to lay the foundation for lasting reconciliation across Canada. In June 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its findings along with 94 ‘Calls to Action’ regarding reconciliation between Canadians and Indigenous peoples. What should organizations be doing to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its Calls to Action?

    By the end of the program, learners will be able to:

    • Explain what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set out to do, how the TRC was organized and what was reported on in 2015.
    • Understand the significance of the TRC and the 94 Calls to Action, especially Call to Action #92 for corporations and businesses to implement company-wide training and equitable access to employment for Indigenous candidates.
    • Develop a 5-point plan describing the steps your organization can take towards economic reconciliation.
