Algonquin College marks 10 years since the 94 Calls to Action issued

On Dec. 15, 2015 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released their final report titled “Honouring the Truth, Reconciling forCover of TRC report the Future”. The report issued 94 Calls to Action for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Algonquin College is proud to reflect on more than a decade of reconciliation efforts inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Guided by Indigenous voices, the College has introduced programs, services, and partnerships that expand supports for Indigenous learners, integrate Indigenous knowledge into curriculum, and create spaces that honor Indigenous cultures and traditions. A report of our work over the past decade can be read here.

A message from Algonquin College President and CEO Claude Brulé:

Ten years since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s final report, I am very pleased with Algonquin College’s progress in responding to its Calls to Action.

The 2015-2025 report Minokamì – on solid footing highlights the many initiatives that have been developed in partnership with the Anishinàbe Algonquin people and other Indigenous communities, creating a greater sense of belonging and awareness of the history, culture and worldviews of Indigenous people. We also recognize that we are on a journey and we are committed to continue to take meaningful action in a spirit of reconciliation.
