    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Research suggests public awareness of past harms from residential schools has increased but more work needs to be done educating Canadians on lasting effects of the institutions.

    The latest Canadian Reconciliation Barometer report is based on data from a poll Leger conducted in August 2022 that surveyed 3,174 people (1,034 Indigenous and 2,140 non-Indigenous) in six regions across the country through an online questionnaire.

    The polling industry’s professional body, the Canadian Research Insights Council, also says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

    The study found the attitudes of Indigenous respondents didn’t change from 2021 to 2022 when it came to their thoughts on Canada making progress on apologies, nation-to-nation relationships and personal equality.

    While the report found an uptick in several other important measures of reconciliation, there were some areas that did not see a positive trend, including the engagement of non-Indigenous people with Indigenous communities.

    “We cannot discount or deny the dangerous rise in denialism in both mainstream and online media, and it must be countered with ongoing accurate knowledge and information,” she said in a news release.
