ATTN Fellow Fallingbrook Friends & Neighbours,

This is an Incredibly IMPORTANT Opportunity for Our Community to come Together and Take Care of one of our Own.

The Petrie Island Canoe Club NEEDS OUR HELP
They are at Risk of Closing and we cannot allow that to happen without trying the best we can to prevent it.

For those who may not be familiar with the Club, they are an Organization that provides a safe place for many in Orleans at any age to learn the Sport of Canoeing and for the Special Olympics Athletes they support, a place to perfect their Craft before they compete for Canada & Orleans at many Competitions near and far.

It also provides local employment Opportunities, Coaching & Mentorship programs for many more who live in our Region, which means in turn, it supports our local economy. We all love that right?

It is a safe, inclusive place for Residents of all ages to feel like they Belong, and to meet others who share their passion of the Sport.a
It is a Local Business that Builds Character and Confidence in those who use the Club and love being there when they can.

The Funds raised are to help Financially support 1 Year of costs of building a new Safer Professional Boathouse which unexpectedly took much longer to build than first planned and the cost of the New Building came in much higher than they expected.

PLEASE SUPPORT the Petrie Island Canoe Club so Future Orleans Residents and Athletes can enjoy the new BoatHouse and their Beloved Sport of Canoeing in a familiar place that represents home to them.

ORLEANS....

We've done it before and we can do it again. We're asking everyone from all corners of our Community to PLS CONSIDER a Donation to the Petrie Island Canoe Club they NEED our Support to Save it.
It will mean the World to Every Member.

Good Morning Fallingbrook! 😊🌅🌞

Hope you're all having a great start to your week, it's a gorgeous day in Orleans today 🍁🌻🍂

Jillian here, just wanted to officially introduce myself to you all as a New Admin of this page, along with Courtney and Samantha.

You may remember me from the Bottle/Can Drives in July/September, if not I'm also a long time Fallingbrook Resident and I love being actively involved in my Community.
Besides my Charity Walk I take part in every year, I've also done Volunteer Work, I was a Hockey Mom for many years here as well, & I've done a good deal of Fundraising so I am very familiar with our Neighbourhood, and I'm very much a "People person" so to speak.

In my "previous life" as I refer to it (I lived in the GTA for several years as well) I was heavily involved in Advocacy for Families of Victims of Impaired Drivers so that gave me the opportunity to learn to work with Media, different members of Government and other Community Leaders.

I decided to do this role to get involved in my Community in a different way than I have before, by being more involved in Local Community Events, meeting more of my Fellow Residents of Orleans, bringing more people together as Friends as well as Neighbours, and hopefully making a positive contribution to the area we call home.

I'm here to help in any way I can, so please feel free to message, or email or leave a post on the wall if you have questions, have any feedback about anything, or need information about an event etc just reach out one of us will get in touch with you as soon as we can.

I'm planning on being at the Park Clean Up on Halloween Day, so I'm looking forward to meeting others who are attending! It will be a great day, so bring the Kiddos out in their Costumes, and I'll see you then! 😊

Thanks Everyone,

Cheers!

Jillian

September 30th marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day-Every Child Matters.

We recognize that this day may be an unwelcoming reminder to those who suffered hardships through government policies that were harmful to Indigenous Peoples. The Hope for Wellness Helpline provides immediate, culturally safe, crisis intervention support for First Nations, Inuit and Métis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week through its hotline, 1-855-242-3310, or its online chat at hopeforwellness.ca. The service is available in English, French and, upon request, in Cree, Ojibway and Inuktitut.

Orange Shirt Day began as a grassroots initiative in 2013 that has since evolved into a nationally recognized movement. It was established in Williams Lake, British Columbia to honour residential school Survivors, their families, their communities, and those who never returned home. The orange shirt is inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s own story of having her orange shirt taken away on her first day of residential school. It symbolizes the loss of freedom, culture and self that many Indigenous children experienced. Today, we wear our orange shirts to honour the children who never made it back home. We stand with Survivors and their families, and will do what it takes to amplify their voices and bring hope for reconciliation.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a direct response to ‘Call to Action 80’. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission ran from 2008-2015 and provided those directly or indirectly affected by the residential schools with an opportunity to share their stories and experiences. The Commission gathered testimonies from 6,500 Survivors and witnesses, hosted 7 national events, reviewed over 5 million federal records and created a permanent public archive now held at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Survivors advocated for recognition, reparations and demanded accountability for the intergenerational impacts of the harm caused. The Commission released its final report and detailed 94 calls to action. ‘Call to Action 80’ was called for a federal statutory day for commemoration.

In order to work towards the ongoing journey of truth, healing and reconciliation, we must continue to bring awareness and accountability for the intergenerational impacts of the harm caused. We must learn (or un-learn), we must continue to collectively honour those who never made it home , stand along-side Survivors, and reaffirm that their experiences as children have not been forgotten. Over 150,000 children were forced into residential schools, taken from their families and stripped of their culture, language and identity. This is a painful chapter in Canadian history.. I hope today you spend time to honour them, create space for reflection, education and healing. This is part of the journey of reconciliation.

Hope for Wellness Helpline is available 24/7 to all Indigenous people across Canada.
