Toward Reconciliation

On June 2, 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released 94 calls to action, the outcome of its six-year inquiry into Canada’s residential school system. The moment felt like a historic reckoning, but will our country follow through on calls to build a more equitable relationship with Indigenous peoples?

Toward Reconciliation is a sustained body of journalism about how governments, institutions, communities and individuals are responding to the challenges of reconciliation. Our reporting aims to track the journey to change, hold Canadians to their pledges and share stories about successes along the way.

Remembering Larry Guno: B.C.’s forgotten Indigenous politician

The late MLA fought for Indigenous rights during a very hostile time for First Nations people in British Columbia — and he’s still influencing a new generation of Indigenous politicians.

We asked 3 Indigenous candidates in the B.C. election about Indigenous rights

The NDP’s Anne Marie Sam, as well as the Liberals’ Ellis Ross and Wanda Good, sound off on resource development on First Nations land before tomorrow’s election.

What do you know about the Trans Mountain Expansion Project?

With a provincial election coming May 9th, we want to know what British Columbians think about Kinder Morgan’s proposal to twin their oil pipeline to Burnaby. Help us investigate the issues.
