NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION⁠ | SEPTEMBER 30⁠
⁠
We invite you to join us on September 30 for a series of indigenous led activities that offer the opportunity to come together to learn, reflect, and engage.⁠
⁠
These events invite us to honour the survivors of the residential school system, their families, and communities; to remember the children who never made it home; and to deepen our understanding of the history of the land we now call Canada.⁠
⁠
All proceeds from this day go to the Urban Native Youth Association and All My Relations Indigenous Society to support their work with local Indigenous youth. Each event as listed below is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $10 for each event.
