Today marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day fulfils the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call-to-Action #80 and will serve as a day of remembrance, reflection, action, and learning.

The OACUHO Board of Directors is committed to directing resources and energy toward addressing racial injustices as it intersects with our members, stakeholders, and the students we serve. Our approach to this work is intersectional, intentional, and directed. Our collective focus is on reducing the oppression of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) communities at the intersections of their identities - with the recognition that all oppressions are linked and that the work is ongoing.
