City of Brampton’s Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation

• On March 11, 2020, Brampton City Council passed a resolution based on a report regarding Indigenous Reconciliation, Calls to Action and Justice.
• This resolution lifts the City of Brampton to accept the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Calls to Action and focuses on developing an Indigenous-led Reconciliation Action Plan, Indigenous Engagement Strategy, and hiring staff to guide the reconciliation process and provide support on engagement, community outreach and strengthening of Indigenous relations.  In addition, this resolution further accepts the United Nations Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples as the framework for the City of Brampton to work with Indigenous communities and organizations specific to #43 of the TRC Call to Action.
• The City of Brampton acknowledges the tragic and ongoing discovery of the unmarked graves and burials on and near residential schools, as well as Canada’s history and relationship with Indigenous communities. The City is committed to advancing truth and reconciliation across all divisions of the Corporation and Brampton at large. We are working closely with Indigenous partners to fulfill our commitments to Indigenous peoples through a nation-to-nation relationship as was intended through Treaty – Silver Chain – Treaty of Niagara and the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) Calls to Action.
