The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) today published its draft Action Plan for Truth and Reconciliation (APTR) for engagement and is seeking feedback for a period ending October 31, 2025, from interested or affected parties, including rightsholders in Ontario, Indigenous organizations, market participants, regulators, investors and investor advocates.
The OSC has developed the APTR as part of its vision to ensure that Ontario’s capital markets are inviting, thriving and secure for everyone. The APTR will serve as a roadmap for how the OSC:
- can build a culturally aware, safe and more inclusive workforce; and,
- work collaboratively with Indigenous peoples and partners and communities to foster a culture of inclusion and investor confidence for the benefit of all.
The APTR follows the regulator’s alignment of its commitments and business plans with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action 57 and 92. In drafting the AFTR, the OSC has extensively engaged with Indigenous communities and organizations in Ontario, Indigenous-led market participants, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts in the capital markets.
The draft Action Plan for Truth and Reconciliation is available for download from the website of the Ontario Securities Commission.
