🧡 Truth and Reconciliation Day – Thank You 🧡

Blue Heron Support Services Association and the Barrhead Indigenous Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in our Truth and Reconciliation event on September 30.

It was a meaningful day to come together as a community, honour the past, listen, learn, and reflect on the important work that lies ahead as we continue moving forward on the path of reconciliation.

We are grateful to everyone who attended, shared their stories, offered their knowledge, and helped make the day so meaningful. Every conversation, every story, and every step toward understanding matters. 🧡

🎥 Please take a moment to watch the video created during our event. We hope it captures some of the spirit of the day and reminds us of the importance of continuing this journey together.

Every Child Matters. Every Step Toward Reconciliation Matters.
