CMHA marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30
Sep 23, 2024
At CMHA, we’re committed to Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation. Over the last year we’ve engaged in challenging conversations across our Federation to understand and acknowledge CMHA’s history and our role in colonization. We’re learning together while listening to Indigenous voices—experiences, perspectives, and knowledge—as we continue our journey toward reconciliation. The outcome of this effort will be the creation of an action plan to guide the important work of true reconciliation, and we look forward to sharing more about this as we progress. The Canadian Mental Health Association marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – CMHA National
