"The Province wants to renew its relationship with Indigenous peoples in B.C., and affirms its desire to achieve a government-to-government relationship based on respect, recognition and exercise of Aboriginal title and rights and to the reconciliation of Aboriginal and Crown titles and jurisdictions. We agree to work with Indigenous peoples to jointly design, construct and implement principled, pragmatic and organized approaches informed by the Supreme Court of Canada Tsilhqot'in decision and other established law, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action."

"Bannock and fry bread are often seen as quintessential Indigenous foods on Turtle Island - they find their way onto "Indigenous" menus all around the country at food trucks, at pow wows, and even fine dining restaurants. … So how did bannock/fry bread become so ubiquitous among Indigenous cultures here?"
At SurreyCares, we believe that greater awareness is the first step toward improving connections and relationships in our community. These links are the foundation of every cohesive, inclusive community, small or large. This report aims to help residents of Surrey better understand the lived experience of our Aboriginal neighbours. It opens the door to more dialogue and learning. And it provides local planners, service providers, policy-makers, funders, fund holders, and philanthropists with information and insights. We trust this knowledge will translate into policies, programs, and grants addressing the needs expressed by First Peoples.
