Truth & Reconciliation Commission
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada supported Aboriginal Peoples across Canada by guiding the process of truth and healing for survivors of residential schools. This was a profound commitment to establish new relationships embedded in mutual recognition and respect to forge a brighter future.
AltaLink made a Bear Level contribution to the TRC in support of Aboriginal communities' participation in the final National event in Edmonton in 2013.
