Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
The day honours the children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Acknowledging the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is an important part of the journey towards reconciliation.
Members are encouraged to use this day for self-directed learning by exploring educational resources and opportunities that deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures and experiences in Canada. This includes the CEC-hosted webinar, Indigenous Knowledge, Protocols, and Respectful Relationship Building, presented by Jordan Jamieson in June. https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/9008332207835874389
