Each person has an important role to play in reconciliation. Reconciliation begins with oneself and then extends into our families, relationships, workplaces and eventually into our communities.

WHAT WE DO:
Reconciliation Canada actively provides programs and initiatives to inspire positive change in communities throughout Canada.
Through the development of meaningful partnerships and community outreach programs, Reconciliation Canada has delivered a series of Reconciliation Dialogue Workshops across Canada, hosted events during Reconciliation Week in September 2013, including the Walk for Reconciliation engaging 70,000 people in Downtown Vancouver, and co-hosted events in Ottawa and Vancouver to coincide with the closing of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
Our current programs and initiatives:
• Reconciliation in Action – A National Engagement Strategy (Canada 150 Signature Project) - We have reached a pivotal moment in our shared history. 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation. The activities in 2017 provide a unique opportunity for reflection and an opportunity to build new relationships that contribute to our collective well-being. Through Reconciliation in Action: A National Engagement Strategy, Reconciliation Canada will examine and document perceptions, actions and aspirations of Canadians in relation to reconciliation. This narrative will recognize our common history, highlight current achievements and create a vision for the next 150 years. This project includes several initiatives planned across Canada through 2016 and 2017 to engage diverse individuals, groups and organizations in the reconciliation process.
