We commit our charity to advance reconciliation in Canada. Of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action, we’re focused on addressing the health and education legacies that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission laid out. We will dedicate all our efforts to working with communities to provide permanent solutions to insecurities of basic needs. We will provide the funding and means for young Indigenous people to learn how to build, operate, and maintain the water, clothing and food system infrastructure as well as home building and repair work—giving them jobs for a season and careers for a lifetime. Careers that will enable more communities to become self-sufficient.

CALL TO ACTION-EDUCATION #7: We call upon the federal government to develop with Aboriginal groups a joint strategy to eliminate educational and employment gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians.

• Promise for the North is committed to supporting this Call to Action by providing funding and facilitating training, apprenticeships, and jobs that lead to careers in the community for Indigenous people in the Northern Territories.

CALL TO ACTION-EDUCATION #8: We call upon the federal government to eliminate the discrepancy in federal education funding for First Nations children being educated on reserves and those First Nations children being educated off reserves.

• Promise for the North is committed to supporting this Call to Action by aggressively seeking funding to augment current budgets specifically for education of First Nations children being educated on reserves. We believe education is a critical aspect of ensuring future generations can pursue their dreams. 

CALL TO ACTION-EDUCATION #11: We call upon the federal government to provide adequate funding to end the backlog of First Nations students seeking a post-secondary education.

• Promise for the North is committed to supporting this Call to Action by aggressively seeking funding to support scholarships for First Nations students.

CALL TO ACTION-HEALTH #21: We call upon the federal government to provide sustainable funding for existing and new Aboriginal healing centres to address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual harms caused by residential schools, and to ensure that the funding of healing centres in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories is a priority.

• Promise for the North is committed to supporting this Call to Action by helping communities repair existing healing centres and by constructing new ones as desired.
