Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC)

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was established to address the history and lasting impacts of Canada's residential school system, where Indigenous children were often forced to abandon their culture and language. It documented survivors' experiences, acknowledged the harm caused, and aimed to promote healing and understanding. The TRC shared findings through reports and supported efforts for reconciliation—improving relationships and respecting Indigenous rights. Its work helps Canadians recognize past injustices and fosters a path toward justice, healing, and a more inclusive society.
