It’s Truth and Reconciliation Week, which culminates with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and #OrangeShirtDay on September 30. To commemorate, there are many virtual and local in-person events across Canada that you can participate in to honour the survivors of residential schools and the children who never returned home. Here are some ways to get involved this week: • After identifying the Nations whose land you live and work on, you can visit their website or social media channels to see if they are hosting events. Native-Land.ca and your city’s or local university’s websites can help you identify whose traditional and/or treaty territory you live and work on. • Look at local universities’ Indigenous student associations or student success centres for events. • Review your museum’s, library’s, cultural centre’s, or city’s websites for events. • Attend virtual National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation events. • Participate in the Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation at Parliament Hill in Ottawa (in person or virtually). We encourage you to attend local events wearing an orange shirt. https://lnkd.in/gk9yznA5 #EveryChildMatters
