Bruce County, located on the traditional territories of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and Saugeen First Nation, collectively known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), took the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action to heart. The County’s relationship with these First Nations is amplified by their shared history and geography. Recognizing this, Bruce County embarked on a significant and comprehensive journey toward Reconciliation, marked by the development of the Indigenous Reconciliation Planning Initiative and ultimately the Indigenous Reconciliation Framework, and the Saugeen Anishnaabek Reconciliation Pathway and Action Plan. This blog delves into that journey – its beginnings, milestones, and the steps Bruce County is taking to foster meaningful Reconciliation.
