Our bishop has established the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF) to fulfill the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Our parish has contributed to this fund. The IRF supports Indigenous-led and managed projects in one or more of these areas:
- Healing for communities and families,
- Culture and language revitalization.
- Knowledge-sharing, heritage & traditions and community building; and
- Dialogues for promoting Indigenous spirituality and culture.
A third opportunity for applications for the disbursements of these funds opens on February 3rd.
