Today is one of those moments that will stay with me for a long time. Today I had the profound honour of watching 'The Nature of Healing' at Caledon Community Services, in the presence of the filmmaker, Faith Howe, and two of its Elders and Survivors, Grandmother Dawn Hill and Grandmother Sherlene Bomberry. After years of teaching about Residential Schools in my LINC classes, to finally sit with Survivors themselves was both humbling and transformative. Their courage in sharing stories that carry so much pain, yet so much resilience, is a gift to all of us.
What struck me:
*The courage it takes to speak truths that many have tried to silence.
*The depth of intergenerational trauma, loss, and grief ... but also the resilience, determination, and love that refuse to be extinguished.
*That healing is not “over” for these Survivors ... it is ongoing, collective, cultural, spiritual.
*The power of seeing survivors not just as victims, but as truth-bearers, culture keepers, teachers.
Thank you, Faith Howe,for guiding us on this journey with such dignity, care, and intention. And thank you, Grandmother Dawn Hill and Grandmother Sherlene Bomberry, for sharing your voices, your wisdom, your truth. Your presence in that room changed hearts.
Thank you Cathy Perennec McLean , Geraldine Aguiar & Art Rekhtin, PMP, OCELT for this incredible opportunity .

If you haven’t watched "The Nature of Healing" yet, please do. It’s not just a film... it’s a call: to listen, to learn, to recognize, and to heal together.
