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.
