Overview of Organization

Thank you for getting started on the article, The Interior. Here is some information on the organization. I have tried to keep these as impartial as possible, with links to sources, however, please feel free to edit as you see necessary.

I must point out that we are not an advocacy organization. I would say that this would be an accurate description of Reconciliation Canada:

Reconciliation Canada began as "an independent collaboration between the Indian Residential School Survivors Society and Tides Canada Initiatives Society to engage all Canadians in the reconciliation process." [1]. Reconciliation Canada is "a non-partisan, indigenous-led charity creating public education programs and community engagement events to support reconciliation." [2]

Reconciliation Canada began in 2012 with a $500,000 donation from Vancity Credit Union [3] [4].

On September 22, 2013 2013, Reconciliation Canada hosted the Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, BC. Approximately 70,000 people attended the event [5]

Jpvancouver15, thanks for this. If "advocacy" isn't accurate, we still need a simple short descriptor for the org. I've used "non-profit" and "charity" - but both terms are vague. Taken out the "advocate for" bit. The Interior (Talk) 17:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

I have some photos/images in mind for the article, including photos of Chief Joseph, Karen Joseph and the Reconciliation Canada logo. I will add these shortly. Jpvancouver15 (talk) 18:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
