On Truth and Reconciliation Day, CAAN stands in solidarity with First Peoples across Turtle Island. Today, we remember the injustices faced by Indigenous communities due to colonial policies, including residential schools, while honouring the resilience and strength of First Peoples. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action are vital steps toward healing and justice. This day encourages us all to confront the painful truths of our shared history, reflect on ongoing inequities, and take action for change. Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and there is still a long path ahead. Advancing the core aspects of the TRC report requires sustained effort and collaboration. At CAAN, we are committed to decolonization and reconciliation, working with partners like the Dr. Peter Centre and the HIV Legal Network to improve health outcomes and address systemic harms impacting First Peoples.
