September 30th has been designated the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, acknowledging and honouring Survivors and those affected by Indian Residential Schools and Day Schools. Circle Innovation is committed to working alongside Indigenous Communities of British Columbia and continues to foster healthy, positive relationships with members of this diverse and resilient community.
We commit to collaboratively exploring and developing a deeper understanding of Truth & Reconciliation, the significance of DRIPA, and the contributions of Indigenous peoples in Canada’s past, present, and future. Circle Innovation seeks to collaborate with Indigenous communities by working with Indigenous-led tech companies and companies that serve Indigenous communities.
“Indigenous Peoples are not out for revenge; [we have] only sought, and continue to seek, recognition and pray for the greater community to further educate themselves on Canada’s true history, Indian Residential Schools and its impacts on the Survivors and their families. This is what National Day for Truth and Reconciliation stands for.”
