Moose Jaw Gathering on Truth & Reconciliation
In April 2018, CP sponsored and participated in the week-long Atamiskākēwak Gathering in Moose Jaw, Sask. This gathering brought more than 9,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous people together from Saskatchewan and abroad, to learn how we all can take intentional steps towards the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.
The event focused on how to build positive relationships on the journey of reconciliation, and included education and cultural training to help address the present complexities that exist in Canada in regard to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Topics included child welfare, language and culture, health, justice, professional development and training for public servants, the role of youth programs/sports in reconciliation, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and business and reconciliation.
CP is proud to have been a part of this event. We see this event and others like it as opportunities to further engage in conversations that help us all build a pathway forward together.
