The CCUA joins credit unions in committing to the Calls to Action of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s final report. Concern for the community is at the heart of our cooperative values, and it is important that we hold space for Indigenous voices and actively work not only to understand the past but to help change the future.

CCUA 2018 Reconciliation Resolution +

At the 2018 CCUA Annual General Meeting, a member resolution（https://ccua.com/app/uploads/2019/06/Truth-Reconciliation-Resolution-passed-April-30-2018.pdf） on Truth and Reconciliation was passed. It was resolved that CCUA adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a reconciliation framework, including a few action points outlined in Section 92 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

The Action Points are:

i. Commit to meaningful consultation, building respectful relationships and obtaining the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before proceeding with any economic development projects.

ii. Ensure that Aboriginal peoples have equitable access to jobs, training and education opportunities at CCUA and that Aboriginal communities gain long-term sustainable benefits from any economic development projects.

iii. Provide education for management and staff on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law and Aboriginal-Crown relations.

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation +

The federal government created September 30 th as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. At CCUA, honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is part of our ongoing commitment to learn more about the Indigenous experience.

In 2022, CCUA hosted a webinar for all member credit unions and CCUA staff. The webinar was led by a diversity and inclusion consultant of the Haudenosaunee community, Gene Jamieson.
