“Treaties formed the basis of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people many years ago, and these signs are a bold visual reminder that the treaty relationship continues today, and forever.” Read more at #SheridanNewsroom: sheridan.mobi/3upSZQM

Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 after I shared my story of wearing an orange shirt on my first day at SJM Residential School. From that day, the color orange became a symbol of the effects of residential schools & “Every Child Matters” - Phyllis Webstad, Ambassador @OrangeShirtSoc

Parents are fighting to get kids back to school but children at Marten Falls FN have gone 6 months without school. The community has no money for a teachers residence while feds/province brag about riches of Ring of fire in their territory. This is Canada. Things gotta change.

@maggie_wente Much better!!!!

@maggie_wente @Pam_Palmater @TorontoStar Wow this is disgusting and completely unacceptable reporting!

Bye bye Ryerson. Makwendam - we remember

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘: ​At the Nov. 17, 2021 Board meeting, #HDSB Trustees selected Makwendam Public School as the new name for Ryerson Public School, located at 565 Woodview Road in Burlington. ➡️ Learn more: bit.ly/3Ftqsdv

@CamilleriJaime @MakwendamPS Amazing job Evan!!

Dear @JustinTrudeau I read the appeal you put at federal court trying to overturn the federal court decision, trying to fight the findings of the human rights tribunal. You keep losing these fights. Simple message: stop fighting Indigenous kids in court and do the right thing.

Breaking news! Federal Court dismisses both federal government appeals- the Tribunal’s compensation decision and decision for First Nations kids off reserve get help under Jordan’s Principle stand!

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘: At the June 16, 2021 meeting of the #HDSB, Trustees unanimously approved a motion to rename Ryerson Public School in accordance with the Board’s Naming and Renaming Schools Policy and Governance Procedure. ➡️ Read more here: bit.ly/2S94zgG

Halton District School Board expected to rename Ryerson Public School thestar.com/local-burlingt… via @torontostar

@MargoShuttle @MargoShuttle part of this is acknowledging that names of places are harmful. I am an intergenerational survivor of residential school and 60s scoop. My daughter attends Ryerson Public School. I hope @HaltonDSB considers changing the name

Interesting conversation in our Truth First: A Foundation for Positive Action training- do we consider dark chapters in our history or could they also be viewed as the whole book? #allchildrenmatter #uncomfortabletruths

Calling @HaltonDSB to change the name that my daughter goes to @RyersonPS1. We are intergenerational survivors of residential school and hoping that real change takes place for her sake!
