Learn more about the Indigenous Relations Framework and our progress report: guelph.ca/2025/09/guel...

By sharing our progress and learning openly, we strengthen our ability to grow as an organization, recognizing that reconciliation requires ongoing reflection and commitment to better serve those we support.

Last year, the City of Guelph released our Indigenous Relations Framework, formalizing our commitment to reconciliation by embedding Indigenous perspectives into how we serve and support our community. Today, we’re sharing our first progress report, outlining strides we’ve made.

In learning the harsh truths about historic and ongoing injustices and actively committing to working towards reconciliation, we honour the children who never made it home, the Survivors of the Residential School system, and their families and communities.
