September 30 for me, is a call to remember the thousands of Indigenous children who were taken by force from their families, denied their culture, and subjected to unimaginable suffering. It’s also a time to honor the survivors whose courage and resilience ensure that this painful history is not forgotten. These stories are not just a part of the past—they are part of the present, as the effects of this systemic harm continue to impact Indigenous communities today. I believe it’s our collective responsibility to commit to learning about these truths and to contribute meaningfully to reconciliation efforts. This means listening to Indigenous voices, supporting initiatives that promote healing, and taking action to foster genuine, respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. It means challenging ignorance, stereotypes, and the ongoing inequalities that persist in our society. Truth and Reconciliation is not a single day of reflection, but an ongoing journey that we must engage with every day. 🧡 #EveryChildMatters

**Honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation** Each year, September 30th serves as a day to pause and reflect on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day to honor the children who never returned home and the Survivors of residential schools, along with their families and communities. The truth of our shared history includes stories of pain, loss, and resilience. Publicly acknowledging these truths is a critical step toward healing and reconciliation. As we commemorate this day, let’s commit to not only listening and learning, but also taking meaningful actions to support reconciliation in our communities, workplaces, and daily lives. Reconciliation isn’t a one-time gesture but an ongoing process. It requires active participation, self-education, and building respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples. Today and every day, let’s take time to reflect, educate ourselves, and support efforts that amplify Indigenous voices and experiences. #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #IndigenousRights #ListenAndLearn #DEI

Today, we reflect on the profound journey of truth and reconciliation. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging our history, especially regarding Indigenous peoples and their experiences. Reconciliation is not just a goal; it's a process. It requires us to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations about the past. As we strive for a more inclusive future, let’s commit to the following: Listen Actively: Engage with stories and experiences of those who have been affected by historical injustices. Their narratives are vital for understanding the full picture. Educate Ourselves: Take the time to learn about Indigenous cultures, histories, and the ongoing impacts of colonization. Knowledge is a powerful catalyst for change. Support Indigenous Voices: Amplify and uplift Indigenous leaders, creators, and communities. Their insights and contributions are essential to our collective growth. Take Action: Whether through policy advocacy, community involvement, or personal accountability, let’s work towards tangible changes that promote equity and justice. As we honor those who have suffered, let’s also celebrate resilience and hope. Reconciliation is a collective responsibility, and each of us has a role to play. Together, we can pave the way for a future built on understanding, respect, and partnership. #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousVoices #CollectiveHealing #InclusiveFuture

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we have the opportunity to learn, reflect, and take action. Here are three meaningful ways we can all contribute to reconciliation: 1.

Support Indigenous Communities: Uplift Indigenous-led businesses, organizations, and initiatives. 3. Engage in Active Reconciliation: Reflect on our actions and work towards fostering inclusion and respect in all aspects of life. Together, we can make a difference. 🧡 #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #ReflectAndAct"

🧡 Honoring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡 Today, we come together to reflect, remember, and honor the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. To acknowledge the painful history and ongoing impacts these institutions have today. And in addition to everything you’ll engage in, and learn from today, I’ll add to those actions. When the day is done. And the learning has been taken in. Find ways to mobilize that learning, through the rest of the year. We need our systems to change. Change in ways, that has nothing to do with another’s comfort level. A shift away from negative attitudes and beliefs towards any community not tolerated, or better yet, eliminated. And for today, specifically, for Indigenous people and communities. One of the ways that change happens, is when you contribute to shifting hearts and minds with the un/re/learning you receive. Ultimately, we are, as Miss Loretta J Ross offers, “becoming more mature as a culture!” It’s time we grow up, and grow out of the fear, silence, and inaction after commemoration days like, the #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #IndigenousRights #OrangeShirtDay #Reconciliation
