Today marks the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2-Spirit people. We remember and honour the families, Survivors, communities, and allies who continue to carry these losses, and the voices calling for justice, accountability, and lasting change.

This is a day to reflect, learn, listen, and recognize the urgent need for safety and support for Indigenous women, girls, and 2-Spirit individuals. We must also acknowledge the disproportionate violence they face and commit to taking action.

We encourage everyone to read Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.Visit: https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.867037/publication.html

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, AIOC recognizes the children, families and communities who continue to live with the impacts of the residential school system.

Orange Shirt Day honours the story of Phyllis Webstad, whose orange shirt was taken when she arrived at residential school. Her experience has become a powerful symbol of the importance of reconciliation, and building respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples.

Today, we encourage everyone to wear orange, listen to Indigenous voices, learn from the truths they share and consider how we can contribute to meaningful reconciliation.
Learn more by visiting the Orange Shirt Day website - orangeshirtday.org

Please note that AIOC offices are closed to observe the statutory holiday.

Today, we recognize the anniversary of Treaty 7 and its significance across southern Alberta. Treaty 7 was an agreement between the Crown and the Kainai, Siksika, Piikani, Îethka Stoney Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina Nations, covering over 130,000 square kilometres of what is now southern Alberta.

Its signing is part of a complex history marked by broken promises and colonial hardship, but also by resilience, survival, and enduring cultures.
Today, Treaty 7 Day provides an opportunity to learn about this history, acknowledge its ongoing significance and consider what reconciliation looks like in practice.

AIOC attended the Treaty and Aboriginal Land Stewards Association of Alberta (TASLAA) conference, where we had the opportunity to share insights on the path forward for Indigenous equity partnerships and the growing impact of Indigenous participation in capital markets.

The conference was a valuable opportunity to learn, connect and share knowledge with leaders and practitioners working to advance First Nations Land Management in Alberta.

Thank you to TASLAA for bringing together such an important conversation and for the opportunity to contribute to the dialogue.
