“At this rate, it will take 42 years, or until 2065, to complete all the Calls to Action.” Latest report by @Yellowhead_ is required reading for all ⬇️
Our 2022 Status Update on Reconciliation finds that a mere two Calls to Action were completed this year. In seven years since the release of the Calls, Canada's record is now 13 of 94.
The report, edited by @ebaans_ & @Ian_Mosby is now out. Read here: yellowheadinstitute.org/trc/
