Keep It Local Kitimat

Truth & Reconciliation: A Commitment, Not a Calendar Date. It’s about facing the history we cannot undo, listening to the stories that were silenced, and asking ourselves how we can honor what was lost.

Reconciliation is a journey we all share. Everyone in Canada has a role to play; businesses, governments, organizations, and individuals alike.

Together, we can build respectful relationships and a better future.
