The ACA firmly stands against residential school denialism and wholly endorses the recommendations made by the TRC’s Calls to Action, the Reconciliation Framework, and the needs of impacted communities.  We thank the Indigenous Matters Committee for their work in developing this statement.

This illustration marks the death of Queen Victoria & the ascension of King Edward VII in 1901 on the City of Halifax’s aldermanic scroll. An extraordinary 6.5 metres, it contains signed oaths of office of every Halifax alderman from the city’s incorporation in 1841 through to amalgamation in 1996.
