Honouring Truth and Reconciliation this September
Truth and Reconciliation remains a key priority for the Calgary Board of Education and an important commitment within the current Education Plan. As we continue to advance the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, we recognize the importance of ongoing learning, meaningful action, and building respectful relationships with one another and our communities.
