Today, we pause to honour the survivors of the residential school system and remember the countless Indigenous children who never returned home. For over a century, the residential school system in Canada caused immense trauma and cultural genocide, leaving a lasting impact on Indigenous communities. Acknowledging this painful history is vital to the journey toward reconciliation, but acknowledgment alone is not enough. Here are a few meaningful ways to observe Truth and Reconciliation Day beyond wearing orange: 🟠Educate Yourself on Indigenous History and the Residential School System Visit your local library, connect with Indigenous organizations, or explore resources online, such as books, survivor interviews, and videos, to learn about Indigenous history and the challenges faced by these communities. 🟠Participate in Local Community Events Engage with events organized by Indigenous groups in your area. Listening to their experiences helps you understand their needs and make a meaningful impact through your support. 🟠Read the 94 Calls to Action Review the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action and think about how you can incorporate these actions into your everyday life. 🟠Learn About the Origins of Orange Shirt Day Understand the grassroots origins of Orange Shirt Day, which aims to bring attention to the legacy of residential schools.

🪶🧡🪶 Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honors 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. “As part of our collective reconciliation journey, we have an obligation to confront the full truth of our nation’s history. For too long, the experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have been marginalized or distorted in our education systems. We must ensure that future generations learn the truth about residential schools and the ongoing legacy and lasting trauma they inflicted on generations of Indigenous peoples. Only then can we build a more just and equitable future for all.” – Stephanie Scott, Executive Director, National Centre for Truth, and Reconciliation Crozier Mechanical is an inclusive workplace, we respect the needs, values, and perspectives of indigenous communities. Reconciliation is fundamentally about building positive and respectful relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. Positive relationships in every dynamic are what we thrive on. #truthandreconciliation
