A message from the Executive Director

 

September 30^th this year marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a time for reflection and a time to come together in the spirit of reconciliation, and to honour those who have been impacted by Canada’s residential school system.

Chip and Dale Homes Inc. Has obligations to recognize, not just the land on which our homes and business reside, but also the legacy of colonization. We need to move forward in a positive way to restore relationships with Indigenous communities through meaningful action.

We are guided by the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People, which established the individual and collective rights of Indigenous people and protect them from discriminatory policies and practices. We are also guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final report.

On September 30^th, please take time to and learn more about the history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and consider what each of us can do, as individuals, to bring action to advancing reconciliation with Indigenous People.
