How To Honour Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day):
There are a number of ways to honour Truth and Reconciliation Day that hold space for the day, but also enable continuous learning, education and action going forward too.
1. Wearing an orange shirt on September 30th honours survivors of Residential schools and those who never returned home.
2. Learn Indigenous history via resources such as: https://nctr.ca/archives-and-collections/
3. Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Call to action. This can be found at: https://nctr.ca/about/truth-and-reconciliation-commission-of-canada-calls-to-action/
4. Visit local Indigenous groups, events, museums and more to show support for Indigenous communities.
5. Learn our regional Land Acknowledgement and explore what it means as well as the history attached to it.
These are just a few ways that we can show up, hold space, learn together and take action leading up to and beyond Truth and Reconciliation Day. For more information, please visit the sources below.
