30/09/2025
National day for Truth and Reconciliation.
On this day we are called to reflect on the lasting devastating impacts residential schools have had, and continue to have, on Indigenous communities, their families and the inter-generational wounds of suffering, pain and dislocation.
Some times we my feel lost in not knowing what we can do to make a difference. Here are some places to start;
- wear an orange shirt,
- attend local events,
- educate yourself and others about residential schools,
- donate to Indigenous organizations,
- support Indigenous businesses and artists,
- read Indigenous authors,
- and listen to the stories and perspectives of Indigenous people.
These actions, which can be taken year-round, help honour Survivors and the children who never came home.
