We come together as a community to honour, support and remember the Warriors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and their families.

Let us use the challenges we have faced as a reminder of the resilience of our people, and the importance of keeping our iiyiyiu/iinuu language, culture, and history strong.

Today, and always, we walk together on this important path of remembering and healing.

Ten years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its 94 Calls to Action—a roadmap for Canada to reckon with the legacy of residential schools and rebuild relationships with Indigenous communities. One of those calls was directed at how the philanthropic sector can work together.

This past year, philanthropy leaders gathered to mark the 10th anniversary of The Philanthropic Community's Declaration of Action. Here, Annauma’s board chair, Udlu Hanson explained the meaning behind Inuktitut Philanthropy, stemming from the generosity that already exists in Indigenous cultures: "Philanthropy is sharing. It was instinctive growing up."

There is still much to do. But on this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we are proud to be part of a growing movement that is doing the work.
