Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the ongoing impacts of residential schools.

This year’s theme, “Taking Truth to Action,” reminds us to listen, learn, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.

Amplifying Muslim voices through storytelling.

As part of CASSA’s Digital Storytelling Campaign, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s first and only former Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, for an important conversation about Muslim experiences in Canada.

This podcast is part of our broader effort to create space for Muslim voices and lived experiences, highlighting the realities of Islamophobia and systemic discrimination while exploring how storytelling can help build understanding, empathy, and solidarity.

Funded by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, the Digital Storytelling Campaign brings community stories to life through podcasts, videos, and artwork, because our stories deserve to be heard.

The full podcast is coming soon. Stay tuned!
