On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we encourage everyone to reflect on the words Every Child Matters. Today and every day, we should honour the children who never returned home, recognize the trauma and losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples, and have meaningful conversations so that we educate ourselves on the Calls to Action of the TRC and begin putting reconciliation into action as allies.
Today, lawyers and staff came together to reflect on what reconciliation means for us as a firm, and to reaffirm our commitment to honouring and learning about the distinct cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples. We had the pleasure of learning from Cedar Spoon Catering about the traditional pantry used by First Nations, and the evolution of Indigenous culinary practices in Canada.
