Most recent public tracking indicates that between 14 and 24 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action have been fully completed, depending on which monitoring organization and date are used. The remainder are a mix of “in progress,” “stalled,” or “not yet started,” with several sources stressing that overall implementation has been slower than originally hoped.

What “calls to action” refers to

  • The phrase “calls to action” here usually refers to the 94 recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in 2015 to address the residential school legacy and advance reconciliation.
  • These calls span areas such as child welfare, education, health, language and culture, justice, and various dimensions of reconciliation.

Different trackers, different numbers

  • One civil-society tracker, Indigenous Watchdog, has reported that only a modest fraction are fully complete, with many categorized as “in progress,” “stalled,” or “not started.”
  • CBC’s “Beyond 94” project has, at various points, listed low double‑digit numbers of fully completed calls, with the rest in various stages of partial implementation.

Why numbers do not match

  • Trackers use different criteria for what counts as “completed,” “implemented,” or “well underway,” so they arrive at slightly different totals even for the same period.
  • Government messaging sometimes emphasizes the share of calls that are “completed or well underway,” which can sound more optimistic than independent assessments that focus strictly on fully completed items.

Big picture

  • Even optimistic counts still show that less than half of the 94 calls to action are fully implemented, underscoring ongoing gaps between commitments and lived change for Indigenous communities.
  • Commentators regularly note that sustaining political will, funding, and Indigenous leadership over the next decade will be crucial to move beyond symbolic steps toward deeper structural change.
