Truth & Reconciliation

Walking the path, every day.

In 2015, Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission released 94 Calls to Action — concrete steps to repair the harm of residential schools and address the lasting impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples.

These calls ask all of us — individuals, communities, organizations, and governments — to take responsibility in creating a more just, equitable, and respectful Canada. At ElevateHER, we take them to heart. They guide how we design programs, build partnerships, and show up for community every day.

Our commitment

We believe that healing, empowerment, and equality begin with truth. We are committed to walking alongside Indigenous communities as we learn, unlearn, and take action toward reconciliation.

Reconciliation isn't a box to check — it's a journey we walk every day. We start by listening, and by recognizing the truth that many of the systems we work within were built through colonial harm. That truth fuels our responsibility to do better.

What we're doing

🌾

Embedding cultural safety

Every ElevateHER program includes space for reflection, conversation, and awareness around Indigenous history, culture, and ongoing realities.

🤝

Collaborating with Indigenous partners

We work alongside Indigenous Elders, educators, and organizations to co-create programming that honours Indigenous knowledge and leadership.

💬

Building awareness and accountability

Our team takes part in continuous cultural awareness and anti-racism education — because reconciliation starts with self-work.

🌱

Amplifying youth voices

We ensure Indigenous youth are represented, supported, and celebrated within our empowerment and leadership programs.

Honouring the land

Wellness is deeply connected to the land. We're expanding land-based healing and learning that grounds our work in respect and relationship.

Walking the path together

Reconciliation lives in the choices we make every day — how we show up, how we listen, and how we hold space. We're committed to this ongoing journey with humility, heart, and action. Together, we walk the path toward truth, healing, and community.
