Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and stand with our Indigenous colleagues and communities. Spud is committed as a company to furthering our and our team’s understanding of the history and impacts of residential schools and the mistreatment of Indigenous People. We are grateful that we will have the chance to take this day to observe, learn, participate, and hold space for healing, reparations, and unity. We stand with our Indigenous colleagues and communities by listening, and learning.
