The Reconciliation Action Partnership is a collaborative group of municipal representatives working to coordinate efforts to support Indigenous-centred initiatives across Waterloo Region. Municipalities have the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to reconciliation with Indigenous communities, as this work connects land, people and governance. There are five RAP sub-committees working to achieve coordinated direction, based on the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and on the Calls to Justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Sub-committees include:
- Heritage, Cultural Landscapes and Commemoration Sub Committee
- Communications and Events
- Honorarium and Compensation Practices
- Placekeeping and Land (Use of Space)
- Learning and Development
This work is intended to improve and enhance service delivery to Indigenous Peoples in Waterloo Region, develop respectful relationships with Indigenous communities to meaningfully support Indigenous-led work and build a more inclusive community and municipal workplace.
