National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today is September 30 2021, the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. While many of us are not able to take the full day to join in on events and ceremonies; the link I am sharing today has ways that you can make today meaningful in the time you do have available. 

There are many broadcasts on the CBC today and if you can take some time today to watch, learn, and understand WHY it is so important to commemorate today, you can then take WHAT you learn and continue learning everyday. Learn about the horrors our Indigenous Sisters and Brothers have had to suffer and survive AND ALSO learn about all the wonderful things that the cultures have brought to the world and how we can celebrate all of our First Nation, Metis, and Inuit neighbours.
