September 30th is right around the corners, and with it comes The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
“This day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process”.
On the 30th you are encouraged to wear orange and to take some time to learn from and listen to the Indigenous people of the lands where you live. If you need some ideas on where/how to do that, attached is a list of resources created by Leanne Ellis, one of SD41’s Indigenous Youth Engagement Support Workers.
