Reconciliation is a personal journey for many of us. How we measure action and results will be based on our individual awareness and acts of caring and sharing that contribute to creating positive and progressive change. If you want to contribute to reconciliation take the time to educate yourself on the history of the original inhabitants of this land that Kingston is situated on. Learn about the Huron, the Anishinaabe and Haudenousaunee peoples and their ways of life. The more you know about the life and times of the Indigenous peoples of the land you live on the better prepared you will be to recognize and acknowledge historical fact.
Regardless of your ancestral roots, reconciliation is achievable and can be measured by embracing the spirit of interculturalism. When we take the time to learn and grow from the knowledge gained and information shared, the better citizens we become. Know your facts, celebrate diversity and inclusion of all peoples and respect the land and the natural world around us.
