City of Toronto: Launch of the first Reconciliation Action Plan…that will guide the City’s actions from 2022 to 2032 to advance truth, justice and reconciliation. The Reconciliation Action Plan builds on the City’s existing commitments to Indigenous Peoples through 28 meaningful actions across five themes:
- actions to restore truth,
- actions to right relations and share power,
- actions for justice,
- actions to make financial reparations and
- actions for the Indigenous Affairs Office.
The 28 actions outlined in the Plan will contribute to the visibility and overall wellbeing of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Toronto through:
- placemaking and placekeeping
- supporting economic development and prosperity
- increasing civic engagement
- honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and being, and
- recognizing rights to self-determination and self-governance.
A key priority for the City will be addressing barriers and colonial practices embedded in its policies, processes and practices to better serve Indigenous residents in Toronto.
