Taking action towards reconciliation
At the Muskoka Community Foundation, we recognize the importance of
reconciliation as an ongoing process rooted in understanding and action.
Reconciliation requires us to acknowledge the enduring harm caused by
colonization and genocide, while taking meaningful steps to build mutually
respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples.
Reconciliation is a shared responsibility, and we invite everyone in our
community to join us in this journey. Below is a list of ways you can show your
support for Indigenous communities and deepen your knowledge of our shared history.
