Response to "Apology for Spiritual Harm"
It was an historic moment in the journey of reconciliation between the Anglican Church of Canada and Indigenous people both within and outside the church.
On July 11, 2019 our outgoing Archbishop and Primate Fred Hiltz offered a heartfelt apology for spiritual harm done to Indigenous people because of the colonization of what we now know as Canada.
On July 16, 2019 the Indigenous Elders of General Synod 2019 offered a response to that apology.

“First Contact”
Special Screening Event at Grace Church
Commemorating Aboriginal Awareness Week
On May 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th @ 7 pm each night
Hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, First Contact takes six Canadians, all with stereotypical opinions
about Indigenous People, on a unique 28-day exploration of Indigenous Canada. It is a journey that will
turn their lives upside down, challenging their perceptions and confronting their prejudices about a
world they never imagined they would see. This exploration of the true Indigenous experience in Canada
will change the participants’ lives forever.
