I woke up this morning thinking about the " holiday" and its association with celebrations or happy things. First, today doesn't "celebrate" anything, like Remembrance Day; Truth and Reconciliation Day should be a time of reflection in this country whether you have the day off or have to go to work. Take a minute to reflect on your role in the ongoing racism in this country. Do you hold those terrible beliefs about Indigenous people? Do you work in a place where institutional racism is a real thing, health care, policing, and justice, to name a few? Today is about residential schools, but I don't think that is all it is about; there is so much more: MMIWG, Starlight tours, the removal of children from their families, day schools, the Scoop of the 60s, TB testing on Inuit, the forced relocation of Inuit, the dog slaughter and I know there is more. What did you think of when you put on your orange shirt today, and how can you be an ally to an Indigenous person(s)? I know there is more for me to do, and when I reflect next year, I hope that I have grown in my understanding and allyship. #truthandreconciliation #personalgrowth #growth #understanding

Today we hold space for the joy and sorrow that Juneteenth ushers in. We are joyful in our celebration of freedom and we are sorrowful in remembering our nation’s long history of oppression, violence, and discrimination. Youth health professionals: you are uniquely equipped to help youth navigate the complexities of Juneteenth and engage with them in challenging topics about racism and discrimination. Research shows the long-term effects of discrimination are serious. Youth who experience discrimination face higher rates of other risk factors and increased risk behaviors compared to the general population. Being an ally to minority youth means understanding the social determinants of health that are impacting them and advocating for the interventions that will support them.

Racism is a complex and pervasive issue that affects many aspects of society. Addressing it requires a multifaceted approach involving education, policy reform, and active efforts to promote equity and justice. By understanding the various ways racism manifests and its impact, individuals and communities can work together to create a more inclusive and fair world. #stopracism
