🧡 Orange Shirt Day — National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

September 30th, we honour the children who never came home from residential schools, and stand with the survivors, their families, and communities.

We honour Truth and Reconciliation by being thankful to operate on the unceded territories of the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, and Musqueam Nations. We acknowledge the deep cultural significance of these lands and thank them for their continued stewardship. We are committed to our own learning journey, and educating our community of the cultural and historical significance of these lands.

Reconciliation is more than wearing orange. It means reflecting, truth-telling, and taking meaningful action.
Here are some places to start:
