I always think that more education is key. The great honourable Marie Sinclair once said, education is what got us into this and education is what will get us out of it. And I absolutely resonate with that.
What role do municipalities play in the journey towards truth and reconciliation? In this episode of MuniCast, Sandra Bender from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) sheds light on this crucial question. Sandra discusses the importance of understanding the history of residential schools and the ongoing impacts of these injustices on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. She emphasizes the need for continuous education and community engagement to foster meaningful reconciliation practices.
This episode dives into how municipalities can address Call to Action #57, which urges all levels of government to educate public servants on the history of Indigenous peoples. Sandra highlights the importance of municipalities collaborating with Indigenous communities to acknowledge past wrongs and take proactive steps toward healing and reconciliation. By preserving the truths of Residential School Survivors and promoting ongoing learning, the NCTR aims to honour survivors and support the journey towards a more just and inclusive future.
Whether you're a municipal leader or a community member, this episode offers valuable insights into how local governments can contribute to reconciliation efforts.
