Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Truth and Reconciliation Commission

In 2008 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was entrusted with revealing the truth about the history and the continuing legacy of the residential-school system in Canada in a thorough and honourable manner. The Commission was also entrusted with promoting reconciliation in Indigenous families, and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous based on inclusion and respect.

This research guide outlines the important documents and resources related to the TRC and its work.
