After Canada's "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" report came the recommendations on how to heal Canada, inclusive of all Canadians, for the healing of all Canadians. A whole country is a healthy country. 

The Truth and Reconcilation Commission is closed, after honourably serving it's purpose of taking First Nations and non-native testimony then recommending nation-wide next steps to be taken by all citizens (for their own personal healing). 

The next step of Canada's nation-wide healing. 


Gord Downie (1964-2017) talks about his cross-country tour, and why he's focusing on First Nations issues. 

A National Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support to former students. This 24-Hour Crisis Line can be accessed at: 1-866-925-4419
