Had a great time at the 29th Sam Lawrence dinner last night. Lots of great conversations with friends, colleagues, and community leaders. And it was great to see so many CityHousing Hamilton board members out this year. Long live the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre. #HamOnt

@SarahJama_ @hamiltonlabour @sabreina_dahab Thank you SO much for coming, Sarah! ✨

Tonight was the annual fundraiser gala for the Worker's Art & Heritage Centre! Many unions and Worker's gather every year to ensure that @WAHC stays well funded and supported, as the only worker focused Museum in Ontario. It was great to run into so many friends & allies #hamont

Housed in the former Mohawk Institute Residential School, they are also home to a museum collection of over 50,000 objects. Their important work inspires WAHC today, and every day of the year.

The Workers Arts & Heritage Centre will remain unstaffed both today and tomorrow in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We will return on Wednesday, in time for our regular public hours. 1/5

🧵4/4 Want to pick up some copies of your own? We ordered titles from @strong_nations and @AnotherStoryTO! Remember to support independent bookstores, and Indigenous-owned businesses and writers as part of your own efforts to educate yourself about Indigenous issues year-round.

🧵3/4 For WAHC’s Kids’ Zone, new titles explore language, culture and the legacy of residential schools, and were written with accessibility for young readers in mind.

🧵1/4 Monday is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. To mark this day of reflection and action, @WAHC has invested in new resources for our second floor library and Kids’ Zone. In making our selection we had the TRC's 94 Calls to Action (2015) in mind.
