Truth. Then, Reconciliation.

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Parents for Diversity bears witness to both the genocide of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people through systematic and purposeful violence and to the resilience, the joy, the beauty, and the culture of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people.

Our liberation is intertwined, and we will not stop until we all are free.
