Today we pause to honour the children who never returned from residential schools, the Survivors and their families and the communities still carrying this history.
As an organization that works with children every day, we hold close the belief that every child deserves to feel safe and proud of who they are, and to grow up surrounded by their family, language and ways of knowing that reflect their truth. Indigenous children were denied these basic rights for generations, and the trauma of what was inflicted upon them lives on.
Reconciliation asks more of us than one day. It asks us to keep listening to Indigenous voices, learning the history and reflecting on how we can show up differently and bring about lasting change. One decision at a time.
We wear orange today in remembrance and in commitment.
