Walking in Our Truth Together 

A New Journey Toward Truth and Reconciliation 

Do you want to uncover the true stories, experiences, and histories of Indigenous Peoples — stories that go deeper than what we usually hear or read?  

Walking in Our Truth Together is our new online course that invites you to deepen your understanding and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation. Developed in collaboration with Canadian Geographic, this course supports our commitment to reconciliation by increasing awareness of Indigenous realities, honouring resilience, and fostering impactful change.

How It Works

New modules will be released every 4 to 6 weeks — starting on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30) and concluding with National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21). This pace allows for reflection, understanding, and a deep commitment to reconciliation.  

Over 10-modules, participants will explore crucial topics such as treaties, Indigenous law, Métis history, and the cultural richness of Inuit life. Each module delves into Indigenous history, legal frameworks, and rights, highlighting their ongoing significance in today’s society. 

This isn’t just an educational program — it’s a transformative journey toward a more respectful and inclusive future. 

"Reconciliation is not an Aboriginal problem — it is a Canadian problem. It involves all of us."

–Justice Murray Sinclair
