Press freedom allows us to confront hard truths & to report them fully. Reconciliation asks us to use that freedom with responsibility, ensuring #IndigenousVoices are heard and remembered—not just today, but every day.

As media, our responsibility is twofold:

- To uphold press freedom so that difficult truths are never silenced or ignored
- To commit to reconciliation by centering Indigenous voices, histories, and rights with accuracy, respect, and care

A free press is not only about protecting journalists — it’s about protecting the truth. In Canada, that truth includes the legacy of residential schools, the Sixties Scoop and the ongoing impacts of colonialism.
