Residential Schools: Moving from apology to action
Posted
June 11, 2008
In the June 11 Vancouver Sun, the B.C. Federation of Labour, and several of its affiliated unions, including HSA, called on Canadians to move from apology to action to work to improve the lives of Canada's First Nations.
The Canadian government's formal apology yesterday over horrific abuses in residential schools is an important first step.
Now we all need to do our part to move forward from apology to action - to go forward with aboriginal people on the path to reconciliation, self-determination, dignity and justice that has so long been denied.
