On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, our Network takes pause – but our work does not. We honour the stories of success, resilience and survival and the Indigenous people who steward the land we do our work on. At First Work, we are called to do more than just recognize these truths. We are called to confront that every action in our mission carries the profound weight of history and memory. We must build pathways that honour these histories, that support and uplift #Indigenous aspirations and careers, and that make room for a #FutureOfWork shaped by respect, equity, and shared purpose. #Reconciliation is not a checklist, not a single action or day, but a commitment woven into the fabric of what we do. It is an ongoing, sometimes uncomfortable journey, one that asks us to listen more deeply, to see more clearly, to learn and unlearn, again and again. So today, let us not just remember – let us resolve. Resolve to forge genuine partnerships, to advocate for the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples with urgency.
