The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada was established to document the history and impacts of the Indian residential school system and advance reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Operating from 2008-2015, the TRC gathered testimony from survivors, examined historical records, and held national events. Its 2015 final report documented the cultural genocide of residential schools and issued 94 Calls to Action for governments, institutions, and citizens. Many Calls to Action address municipal responsibilities including commemorating residential school history, supporting Indigenous language revitalization, and implementing cultural awareness training. The TRC's work established a foundation for reconciliation efforts, though implementation of Calls to Action continues. Understanding TRC findings is essential context for contemporary Indigenous-government relations.
