We hope you enjoyed a wonderful and restful summer, and that you’re ready to embrace the fall season. As September 30th approaches, we are reminded of the profound significance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day is more than a moment of reflection; it serves as a powerful call to action. It urges us to deepen our understanding, confront our shared history, and take meaningful steps toward a just and equitable future for everyone. This is a crucial time for reflection and education as we acknowledge the painful legacy of residential schools and their lasting effects. Understanding this tragic history is essential to the reconciliation process and to fostering healing within our communities. Let us commit to this journey together! For continued learning, we encourage you to explore these resources: https://lnkd.in/g3DQGzwd #TruthAndReconciliation #NDTR #Reconciliation #IndigenousRights #ResidentialSchools #HealingTogether #HonouringTruth #CulturalAwareness #EquityAndJustice #OrangeShirtDay #WeAreListening #ReconciliationWeek #EveryChildMatters
