National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. As a community, this is a time for us to learn, unlearn, and critically examine our own practice as we work towards meaningful action on Truth and Reconciliation. Helpful resources like Indigenous People of Manitoba: A Guide for Newcomers, and Indigenous Peoples in Toronto: An Introduction for Newcomers (with associated Facilitator’s Guide) encourage us all to learn with an open mind, and to unlearn and re-learn through the voices of Indigenous peoples themselves. The resources may have been developed to help newcomers, but they are full of great information that can help everyone understand the richness and complexity of Indigenous histories, cultures, spiritualities, and practices. Be sure to share them with your team and families!
