Today we pause to acknowledge the history of residential schools and the intergenerational trauma experienced by Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Truth and Reconciliation Day is a call to action—an invitation for all of us to engage, listen, learn, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities. Last week at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) the LEAP team had the honour of listening and learning from journalist Connie Walker who emphasized the importance of sharing truths and making space for intentional firsthand storytelling that preserves the Indigenous experience and culture. Reconciliation is not just a one-day event, but a commitment we make every day to honour the truths of the past, advocate for justice, and support the healing of those affected. This day is a reminder that each of us has a role to play in reconciliation every day. Whether it’s through learning about Indigenous history, supporting Indigenous-led initiatives, or amplifying Indigenous voices—collective steps lead to greater change. Join us in taking time to reflect, educate, and act towards meaningful reconciliation.

Each year, September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, when we honour the Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities, and the children who never returned home. Recognition of this tragic and painful history and reflection on its lasting impacts are an important part of the reconciliation process. But the advancement of reconciliation requires much more than an annual day of observance. Ongoing collaboration will not only bring greater prosperity and quality of life to Indigenous communities, but also it will bring greater understanding of the history and perspectives of Indigenous people, build greater trust, and advance the process of reconciliation.

The more I explore the history and discover the rich indigenous cultures and people, the more I become convinced that every individual, regardless of their background, should be treated with equal rights and dignity. It saddens me to see that differences in rights exist based on factors such as race, gender, or religion. While we may have different physical characteristics, such as skin color, hair, or languages, we are all fundamentally human beings. We all walk this earth with pride and dignity, just like anyone else. Our inherent human nature and behavior form the basis of our perception of others. I choose to see the good in people and believe that every problem is a result of both sides involved. It takes two to tango, as they say. It is essential to minimize chaos and address the underlying causes of problems. The evaluation of cases can have a significant impact on the quality of outcomes. To foster a stronger sense of community and a better social system,we need to invest in education, particularly in psychology, to better understand human behavior and strengthen review governance system, and our communities. Investing in education can provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate complex social dynamics and make informed decisions. By studying psychology, we can gain insights into the underlying factors that influence human behavior, allowing us to develop more effective strategies for promoting positive change. Furthermore, a strong review governance system is crucial for ensuring transparency and accountability in decision-making processes. It helps to prevent corruption and promote fairness, ultimately fostering trust and cooperation within our communities. Through these investments, we can create a society that is better equipped to address and overcome the challenges we face. This will help us create a more inclusive and empathetic society, where everyone's rights and dignity are respected. #humanrights #education #community #humanbehavior #impact #psychology #indigenous #people #equality #australianuniversity #governance
National Sorry Day marks the anniversary of the tabling of the 1997 Bringing them Home report in the Australian Parliament – the final report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families. On this day we take time to acknowledge the mistreatment of the Stolen Generations and pay tribute to the resilience and strength of survivors. For the first time, the Commission’s Bringing them Home inquiry examined the truth of Australia’s Stolen Generations. This landmark report shared the shocking truth with the nation. Almost thirty years on, many of the report’s 54 recommendations have not been implemented, or only partially implemented. This year’s theme is ‘Bringing Them Home: the unfinished business’. We must urgently act on the outstanding recommendations of this report, before it is too late for those Stolen Generations survivors who are still with us.
