🔸National Day for Truth & Reconciliation🔸⁠ On this day, we confront the painful legacy of colonialism, honour the thousands of Indigenous children stolen from their families and forced into residential schools, and stand with the survivors and their families who continue to carry that trauma.⁠ ⁠ This is not just a day of remembrance—it is a call to action. It demands that we commit to real, lasting change, to stand up against ongoing injustices, and to fight for true reconciliation with Indigenous communities.⁠ ⁠ Take Action- documents.clcctc.ca/PAC/NDTR_Resou… #EveryChildMatters

Orange Shirt Day is a time to reflect on the cruel legacy of residential schools, a system supported by governmental and ecclesiastical authorities that sought to assimilate Indigenous children and eradicate their cultures. Wearing orange today is one way we show our collective commitment to ensuring such tragedies are never repeated. The statement "Every Child Matters" reaffirms a commitment to recognize the inherent value of every child and the resilience of Indigenous communities that continue to advocate for truth and justice.

On National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation, we acknowledge the lasting impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities. Today, we honour Indigenous peoples by reflecting, learning, and finding ways to contribute to reconciliation. Join us in this journey.
