During the visit, key discussions were held on important topics, including closure planning for the Pigeon Pit and Waste Rock Storage Area, caribou crossings along the haul roads, and the use of remote camera monitoring for wildlife activities.   Burgundy’s environment and community staff had the opportunity to engage directly with the Tłı̨chǫ representatives, gaining valuable insights and learning from their traditional knowledge.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the profound impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities across Canada. This day is dedicated to remembering the children who never came home, honouring the survivors, and recognizing the ongoing journey toward healing and reconciliation.

We encourage everyone to take this day as an opportunity to listen, reflect, and engage with the stories and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Whether through quiet reflection, participating in community events, or exploring educational resources, each step we take today contributes to a future grounded in understanding and respect. Let’s walk the path of reconciliation together.
