One group in B.C. tackles reconciliation together


VANCOUVER—As Canada grapples with how to achieve reconciliation with Indigenous people, a group in British Columbia has come together to figure out how to restore relations person-to-person. Lind has an interest in social justice and read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report after hearing a call on the radio for all Canadians to do so. The Naramata Truth and Reconciliation Group formed and has progressed from reading the report to discussing a range of issues including privilege, trauma and what it means to be an ally. While it was “stressful” to share her past with the group in Naramata, it was also a learning experience, she said. Lind said for the group, reconciliation is about listening and forming relationships with local First Nation communities.
