On September 30, we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.

This important day calls on us to recognize the history and lasting impacts of Canada’s residential school system, honour those who were lost, and support survivors, their families, and affected communities.

Girl Guides of Canada remains dedicated to reconciliation and encourages staff, members, and supporters to reflect, learn, and join in meaningful solidarity.

You can find events and observations happening in your community on the Government of Canada's website. https://bit.ly/4yebunz

This Fall, BC voters will participate in municipal (October 17) & provincial (October 24) elections. Our Guiding sisterhood is committed to creating a better world, with many members expected to engage in the weeks ahead. Through Girl Guide activities, remember to:

- Be non-partisan or multi-partisan; e.g. bringing your unit to an all-candidates debate to hear various perspectives is appropriate but participating in a party's supporter rally in uniform or with your youth is not appropriate
- Focus on factual info from reputable sources with well-reasoned positions
- Ensure member contact lists, communication channels, or other GGC resources are NEVER used for non-GGC purposes

For unit meeting fun, order a free Democracy In A Box kit from Elections BC (https://elections.bc.ca/voting/outreach-and-education/democracy-kit/), or explore the Voices To Votes instant meeting on the GGC program platform.

Inspired for a new Guiding year! 350 people participated in today's Adventure Ahead fair in Vancouver, the third-annual info/resource event hosted by West Coast Area Girl Guides as a Fall kick-off celebration to help volunteers (from anywhere in BC) feel more confident, informed, & prepared for their next Girl Guide adventures.

Adult Guiders, Unit Assistants, Junior Leaders, & other fantastic volunteers gathered together, collected ideas, picked up free swag/supplies to take back to their units, & made new connections.
