Reconciliationremains

Reconciliationremains is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to fostering dialogue, understanding, and healing between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians. Founded in 2014, the organization focuses on addressing the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism, residential schools, and systemic injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Its name reflects the belief that reconciliation is an ongoing process rather than a one-time achievement.

The organization operates through public education, advocacy, and community engagement initiatives. It emphasizes the importance of listening to Indigenous voices, acknowledging historical wrongs, and actively working toward justice and equity. Reconciliationremains collaborates with Indigenous leaders, educators, and allies to promote awareness of Canada’s colonial legacy and the need for meaningful change.

Key programs include workshops, webinars, and resource development aimed at schools, workplaces, and community groups. The organization also advocates for policy reforms that support Indigenous self-determination, land rights, and cultural preservation. By challenging stereotypes and fostering mutual respect, Reconciliationremains seeks to contribute to a more inclusive and just society.

The organization operates on a volunteer basis, relying on donations and partnerships to sustain its work. Its mission aligns with Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) calls to action, particularly those related to education, justice, and healing. While it does not engage in direct political lobbying, it encourages individuals and institutions to take personal responsibility in advancing reconciliation.

Reconciliationremains is recognized for its grassroots approach and commitment to amplifying Indigenous perspectives. Its work underscores the idea that reconciliation requires continuous effort, accountability, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. By promoting understanding and collective action, the organization plays a role in shaping a more equitable future for all Canadians.
