Re: Pre-Budget Submission – Strengthening Primary Health Care and Expanding Attachment
Dear Minister Bethlenfalvy,
Gender Affirming Care Must Be Accessible to All. Without it, Lives Are at Risk

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: Alliance statement
As we mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour all survivors of residential schools and the sixties scoop, their families, and all the children who never came home. We hold and acknowledge the truths of the intergenerational trauma that Indigenous people and communities have endured and continue to live through because of hundreds of years of systemic racism and colonial violence. We recognize this day is not only about remembrance, but about action and change — guided by truth, humility, and respect.
