Truth & Reconciliation: In Practice

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is committed to building meaningful, respectful and enduring relationships with Indigenous Peoples and First Nations as we continue to learn, unlearn, understand and navigate our responsibilities on this shared reconciliation journey.

In 2016, the SLRD Board became a Regional District of Reconciliation. That commitment recognizes that reconciliation is a long-term process of rebuilding trust and strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities.

On October 22, 2025 the SLRD is set to further its commitment to truth and reconciliation with the endorsement of “Truth & Reconciliation: In Practice – A Guide for Working in a Good Way” (the Guide) that articulates not only the organization’s vision for and commitment to the work, but also sets the stage for practical implementation. Led by the SLRD, working with Gwen Bridge Consulting, when endorsed, the Guide will be used by the Board and SLRD staff to direct their work moving forward. The Guide is intended to be a living document that will evolve over time to reflect ongoing learning as relationships deepen, information is shared, and new understandings emerge. 

Here is a starting list of learning materials related to truth and reconciliation. This resource library will be expanded over time.
