National Day for Truth and Reconciliation | September 30

Today, the African, Caribbean & Black Wellness Resource Centre honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, and their families and communities.

We stand in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and recognize the lasting harm caused by residential schools and colonialism, alongside the strength of Indigenous cultures and communities.

At ACB, our work is rooted in care, dignity and belonging. Reconciliation calls on us to listen to Indigenous voices, learn the truth, and carry that learning into how we serve and support one another—today and throughout the year.

Here’s a strong caption you can use with the Wellness Wednesday post:

Wellness Wednesday at ACB 💛

Wellness is more than one thing. It is having food on the table, a place to connect, people who care, and a community where you feel seen and supported.

This Wednesday at ACB, our Seniors Social brings connection, laughter, wellness and friendship, while our Food Cupboard continues to support individuals and families with dignity and care.

At ACB, we believe strong communities are built when we care for people at every stage of life.

Two programs. One community. One mission — supporting people and building brighter tomorrows.
