Hosted by the Canadian Youth Forum, the goal of the event on Aug. 28 was to listen to indigenous voices, face the truth of shared history, honour survivors, and commit to real change.
TIES President and CEO Sally Zhao says it’s important newcomer agencies take part in such notable events.
“A lot of newcomers come to Canada without knowing the full history of Canada,” Zhao adds. “There are some stereotypes, or prejudices, that exist.”
“We are all linked. We are one Canada.”

Alberta Minister of Indigenous Relations Rajan Sawhney echoed those sentiments.
“Truth and Reconciliation is not just about reflection — it’s a call to action,” Sawhney says.
“To build a future rooted in respect, we must foster anti-racist values, challenge harmful narratives, and stand as true allies with Indigenous communities — not only when it is easy, but especially when it is hard.”
The forum brought together Indigenous leaders, youth, and partners from the Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service. Also in attendance; the Métis Government, Calgary Central Library Indigenous Team, and the University of Calgary Indigenous Engagement team.
May Han, Canadian Youth Forum Series producer, says having TIES as a partner has made a substantial impact.
“Thank you for TIES' continuous support in the Canadian Youth Forum series,” Han says.
“Your continuous support has brought inspiration and encouragement to our youth participants, community members, and partners.”

“It is clear that your (TIES) involvement played a meaningful role in shaping the conversations and impact of the day,” Demetrios Nicolaides, Alberta Minister of Education & Childcare, writes.
This event was a prelude to the upcoming National Truth & Reconciliation Day on Sept. 30.
