Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Royal BC Museum releases its formal public response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report: “Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future.”1 The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has fulfilled its two-part judicial mandate: it produced a broad ranging report detailing the history of the residential school experience for First Nations communities in Canada, and it proposed 94 “Calls to Action,” policy and program recommendations conceived to promote the reconciliation of First Nations and settler societies in Canada.

The following outlines the thematic areas and projects that the Royal BC Museum will undertake in response to and aligned with the TRC’s recommendations.
