Today we acknowledge the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (also known as Orange Shirt Day).

As we walk the path towards reconciliation, it is important that we honour the survivors, families and the children that never made it home. We also wear orange to commemorate the individual and the intergenerational impacts of the Canadian Residential Schools.

The reason we wear orange originated in 2013 when Phyllis Webstad told her story of how, when she was 6 years old, her grandmother had given her a beautiful orange shirt to start school in. Upon arriving, the shirt was stripped away from her, and she never saw it again.

“The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us little children were crying and no one cared.” – Phyllis Webstad

Take the time today to learn from Indigenous teachings, listen to the stories, and participate in activities that encourage reconciliation. At 10AM, you can find the Multicultural Association of Wood Buffalo participating in the RMWB’s Truth and Reconciliation Walk taking place at Kiyam Community Park.

We are feeling well rested, well relaxed, and well informed after this past Saturday's Truth and Reconciliation Rest and Restoration session!

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the workshop, as well as a huge thank you to Shantal Heskett for facilitating the session!

By participating and hosting workshops like this, we create opportunities to learn from the past, build better understanding of Indigenous experience, encourage meaningful relationships between cultural groups, and honour the survivors, those lost and the families that have been affected by the residential school systems.

Together, we work towards building a respectful and supportive future, where both Indigenous and diverse communities can share their cultural wisdom and build a stronger community.
