While Canada's reconciliation project with Indigenous people is showing signs of progress, it's moving much slower than many had hoped. When the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its final report in 2015, it came with 94 calls to action demanding action by governments across Canada on a wide range of reconciliation initiatives. Wilson said she fears that elderly Indigenous people may not live to see reconciliation realized. Frustrating the pace of progress, said Wilson, is what she describes as the constant changes in key personnel charged with leading the reconciliation effort. Sinclair said today's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a positive thing because it builds public awareness of both the horrors of residential schools and the reconciliation project.
