A not-for-profit organization that is keeping track of how governments across the country are responding to the Truth and Reconciliation’s 94 calls to action says nearly half aren’t being responded to.
According to Indigenous Watchdog, work on 16 calls to action hasn’t started, 22 have stalled, 42 are in progress and 14 are complete.
The TRC’s calls to action were aimed at governments, various institutions, First Nations child welfare and churches.
Its December 2015 report was the result of thousands of interviews with residential school survivors, public gatherings and government records.
“Reconciliation is achieved only through acting differently,” said the late Murray Sinclair, commissioner of the TRC, when its report was released.
