Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honor the survivors of residential schools, the families and communities forever impacted by this.

This day is not only one of remembrance, but also of responsibility, a call to action for all of us to listen, learn, and take meaningful steps toward equity and reconciliation.

At iDREAM, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities across Canada and remain committed to fostering spaces where stories are heard.

This day is not only one of remembrance but also of responsibility, a call to action for all of us to listen, learn, and take meaningful steps toward equity and reconciliation.
