This is an invitation to advocacy and witness for Albertans in particular, in keeping with commitments our church made to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. Please prayerfully discern whether your community of faith and its people might take part in this call for the Alberta government to rescind proposed K-6 curriculum changes that would roll back or remove important curricula related to truth and reconciliation commitments.
