On behalf of the Canadian Archaeological Association, we call for immediate action to support communities to locate the children who died at and went missing from Indian Residential Schools, as outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action 71-76. We also call for immediate action to support Indigenous communities searching for lost loved ones who never came home from other schools, hospitals, and sanatoria across the land we now call Canada.

The CAA Board of Directors is recommending the following amendments to the CAA constitution, which would split the existing Secretary-Treasurer position into two separate positions. Currently, the Secretary-Treasurer is a Principal Director with a four (4) year term. Both the new Treasurer and Secretary positions would likewise be Principal Directors with four (4) year terms. This will make the workload for these positions more manageable and make it easier to recruit qualified candidates.

We are excited to announce the winning entry in our conference logo contest! It was submitted by Tekla Cunningham, a fourth year undergraduate student majoring in Biological Anthropology at the University of Winnipeg. The three figures in primary colours represent the different perspectives and diverse backgrounds of archaeologists in Canada, as well as the diversity of and within the communities we study in the past. The double triangle represents the "tent" that is Canadian archaeology, which aspires to be a community where all are welcome and have a place.
