The Government of Canada is dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote understanding and dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across the country. This is a crucial step on our shared path toward reconciliation.
Terry Duguid, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and Special Advisor for Water, and Member of Parliament (Winnipeg South), announced an investment of more than $206,000 for the Canadian Reconciliation Barometer Project at the University of Manitoba. He made the announcement at the university on behalf of the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The Canadian Reconciliation Barometer Project was started in 2015 and is led by Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and researchers from across Canada. It aims to monitor the evolution of our understanding of reconciliation and assess our progress through an online survey.
