Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours 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.
Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
Lynne and the whole Readings By Lynne team encourages Everyone to check out the resources and events in the community and to take some time to explore, learn and truly reflect on the history and pain that First Nations, Inuit + Métis, people have endured.
Together - we can stand together and take actionable steps towards reconciliation. 🧡 🧡 🪶 ✨ 🧡 🧡
