Truth and Reconciliation
"...we know our apologies are not enough"
         from Response of the Churches to the TRCC, June 2, 2015



At its closing event in June, 2015, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRCC) released 94 Calls to Action. A number of those Calls to Action were specifically directed towards faith communities.  In particular, #59 states:
"We call upon church parties to the Settlement Agreement to develop ongoing education strategies to ensure that their respective congregations learn about their church’s role in colonization, the history and legacy of residential schools, and why apologies to former residential school students, their families, and communities were necessary."  Call to Action #59
The church can provide the resources.  As individuals we bear the responsibility for using them.
More information is available on the United Church of Canada's TRC page.
