‘Preparing for a future where reconciliation and self-governance are … foundational pillars of our institution,’ says Speaker Shane Thompson

Over the next five years, the NWT Legislative Assembly will be guided by five commitments and 15 initial actions to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Preparing to Change: Reconciliation Action Plan 2025-2030, issued by Speaker Shane Thompson at the end of the spring sitting on Thursday promises to strengthen relationships with Indigenous governments and organizations, and embed First Nations, Métis and Inuit worldviews into the GNWT’s governance, operations and workplace culture.

“This is a living document — one that will evolve through continued engagement, accountability, and responsiveness to Indigenous leadership,” Thompson stated in a release. “By taking these steps, the Assembly is preparing for a future where reconciliation and self-governance are not just aspirations, but foundational pillars of our institution.”
