Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Government’s unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts, Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
