We encourage all Registrants to take time to learn the truth about the colonial policies and discriminatory history of Indigenous participation in agriculture in Canada, and to reflect on how each one of us can take action towards reconciliation in our professional and personal lives. We invite you to wear orange on September 30th to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools. We at BCIA acknowledge, support, remember, and honour the Indigenous peoples of Canada, on this and every day.
