reconciliation: a commitment

We acknowledge our hosts, the Snuneymuxw First Nation, and recognize that we live and create on unceded Coast Salish territory. As part of GAC’s mandate, we support the resurgence of Indigenous culture and the work of Indigenous artists.

Reconciliation not only requires apologies, reparations, the relearning of Canada’s national history, and public commemoration, but also needs real social political, and economic change … Canadians from all walks of life are responsible for taking action on reconciliation in concrete ways, working collaboratively with Aboriginal peoples. Reconciliation begins with each and every one of us.

—The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
