Our offices are closed today in observance of #Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history. Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom - more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a profound symbol of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for #equality. We recognize that equity is fundamental to social justice. Disparities disproportionately affect the Black community, resulting in higher rates of chronic diseases, lower life expectancy, and limited access to essential resources. As an organization, we are committed to fostering #inclusivity and #understanding while continuously working to improve access to #healthcare for all. Learn more by visiting https://lnkd.in/gqvPZFF

🧡 *Every Child Matters* Orange is more than a color—it's a powerful symbol of remembrance, resilience, and recognition of the injustices Indigenous children faced at residential schools. On Orange Shirt Day, we remember the children who never made it home and those who continue to carry the weight of these traumatic experiences. 🧡 The odds of an Indigenous child dying in a residential school were 1 in 25. 🧡 The last residential school closed in 1996. 🧡 These schools aimed to erase cultures, languages, and identities, causing generational pain. The reason we wear orange on this day stems from the experience of Phyllis Webstad, whose new orange shirt, a gift from her grandmother, was taken away from her on her first day at residential school. Her story reminds us that Indigenous children were stripped not just of clothing, but of their dignity, rights, and lives. 🧡 **Remember this**: the children taken away in handcuffs, the children who suffered physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse, and the children who never returned home to their families. It’s not just a part of history; it’s a part of our present. These injustices didn’t happen in the distant past. They affect the fabric of Canadian society today. 🧡 What can we do? We can educate ourselves and others. We can support Indigenous-led initiatives aimed at healing. And we can honor those affected by wearing orange not just on one day, but by advocating for meaningful action and change every day. Let us not forget that Orange Shirt Day is a reminder to take action—not just in solidarity, but in support of a better future for all. How are you contributing to change and reconciliation? #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousRights
