Opinion: Corporations must play a part in reconciliation – Edmonton Journal
August 23, 2017
Since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report was released two years ago, individuals and organizations from all sectors of society, from sports groups to universities, religious organizations to municipalities, have begun to engage in serious self-reflection about their role in reconciliation and implementing the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action.
But search investor and business agendas and reports and you will find little discussion of what Canadian companies are doing to advance reconciliation.
Yet, the TRC speaks directly to the role of corporate Canada in reconciliation. Call to Action 92 implores Canadian companies to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) as a reconciliation framework.
