One of the best ways that we can help address
some of these needs that exist in communities,

[Indigenous drum ceremony]
in particular Indigenous communities, across
[Peguis First Nation flag]
the country,

is in finally closing the digital divide.

And 2 million people that live across this
country that are living in rural, remote Indigenous communities,

that don’t have access to the same kind
of connection that other people living in

urban centres or other parts of the country do.

It ought not to be the case that your postal
code determines your connectivity opportunity.

So, we worked hard in partnership with many
First Nations communities to extend connectivity

where it’s never been before, but also making sure,

in other parts of our company, that a spotlight 
went on issues around truth and reconciliation.

One of the many efforts that our team brought
to action was something around Orange Shirt Day.

This is an important day for truth, for reconciliation,
for putting a spotlight on the residential

school history and recent history here within
this country.

So, we partnered with Patrick Hunter, who
designed a brilliant T-shirt for Orange Shirt Day,

and we sold it on TSC.

[Various clips of people wearing the Orange shirt with a design of concentric feathers]
This brought in about $100,000 that was donated
for the organization: Orange Shirt Society.

We were pleased to play an important role
using, again, our assets for education and awareness.

And we’ll continue that in the future.
