Reconciliation: A Starting Point

January 5, 2021 - Defence Stories

Dear Colleagues,

As December 15, 2020, marks the fifth anniversary of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the School is proud to release Reconciliation: A Starting Point, a new mobile learning app on the topic of Indigenous Peoples and realities.

Intended for federal public servants as an introduction to the importance of reconciliation between the Government of Canada and Indigenous Peoples, this convenient reference tool contains a wealth of educational information about Indigenous Peoples in Canada, key historical events, and examples of reconciliation initiatives.

We should all be proud of the work carried out internally that led to the launch of this app, whether by the Indigenous Learning team, the Innovation and Policy Services Branch, or the User Experience Directorate. Thank you to all who contributed to making this a reality. This is the first app for the School—but certainly not the last. 

Download the app on the App Store (IOS) or Google Play (Android).

For more information, visit the app section on the School website.

President,
Canada School of Public Service
