5 | TMX Reconciliation Action Plan Our team engaged in wide-ranging and productive conversations with leaders across Canada, and this Reconciliation Action Plan reflects many of the key insights and ideas represented in these meetings. The concept of Adawe, the Algonquin word for buying and trading, rooted our work. Trade and commerce have always existed in the lands we now call Canada. Long before settlers arrived, Indigenous nations and groups were bound by commerce, and the initial relationships with newcomers were based on peace, friendship and trade. As we seek to advance reconciliation and re-establish relationships based on peace, friendship, and mutual prosperity, Adawe is a reminder that commerce has long played a central role in building and maintaining good relationships. It is no accident that the name of Canada’s capital city comes from Adawe. Trade is the heart of our national identity. TMX’s role is to operate marketplaces that enable commerce. From our position at the heart of Canada’s financial markets, we are reminded by the word Adawe that our work is one of many chapters in the long story of trade on Turtle Island. Adawe
