Today we recognize The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. โ
Celebrated annually on September 30th, we come together to honour Residential School Survivors, and to recognize and deepen our understanding on the history and generational impact of Canada's Residential School system.โ
This morning, CEO David Fry and LOFT staff attended the Indigenous Legacy Gathering at Nathan Phillips Square to take part in their Wahkohtowin Walk. โ
๐ซThe literal translation of Wahkohtowin is kinship; however, its cultural and spiritual significance runs much deeper. It represents the profound interconnectedness of all thingsโpeople, animals, the land, and the spirit world. As a foundational law governing how we relate to one another, Wahkohtowin demands responsibility, reciprocity, and a commitment to living in balance, or โin a good way,โ with all of creation.โ
๐งก We are grateful for the opportunity to further our learning during Canada's ongoing journey toward truth, healing, and reconciliation.
