Today, September 30, is 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 this tragic history and its ongoing impacts is an important part of reconciliation.
At Cornwall Community Hospital, truth and reconciliation is an important part of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. We stand in solidarity with Survivors, their families and communities, and are committed to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action related to healthcare and culturally safe care.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process that requires listening, learning and meaningful action. We remain committed to this work to help ensure all patients receive culturally safe and inclusive care.
Today, an orange flag flies at half-mast outside our main entrance in honour of Survivors of residential schools and the children who never returned home.
