We asked Quakers across Canada what they’re doing to support reconciliation. Here’s what we heard!

At their annual gathering in 2016, Canadian Quakers came to a collective decision to take six actions in support of Indigenous peoples’ human rights and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. One of these actions was for local Quaker Meetings and Worship Groups to report back to Canadian Friends Service Committee (CFSC) on the reconciliation work they do each year. (See the full 2016 position from Canadian Friends.)

This annual reporting process was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re pleased to share two reports now (both in PDF):
