This year, 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s release of its findings and 94 Calls to Action.
The Calls to Action aim to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of reconciliation in Canada.
In the years since 2015, organizations across Canada have released progress reports on the 94 Calls to date.
To mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, The Tyee is publishing a suite of writing that intersects with the 94 Calls to Action.
This week, find journalism on the need to counteract residential school denialism, the children who didn’t come home, excellence in Indigenous scholarship, the long journey to reconciliation, the work of reclaiming ancestral languages, a reader’s guide to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 1,800-page history of the residential school system, and more.
