National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

Foundation Role
Written By Caribou Creative

Across the nation we sit with uncomfortable truths, not just today, everyday.

On this National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, we are reflecting on the traumatic legacy of residential schools in Canada, including seven schools that were located on Vancouver Island, and the profound need for continued dialogue, deeper understanding, and a better way forward.

Reconciliation is unique for everyone. Each of us can effect change and we invite our community, along with us, to learn more to promote the healing that is so necessary for our collective health and wellness.

Suggested first steps:

  • Understand the origins of Orange Shirt Day (https://orangeshirtday.org/)

  • Wear orange on September 30th

  • Attend the Comox Valley Spirit Walk hosted by Comox Valley MIKIโ€™SIW Mรฉtis Association and Indigenous Womenโ€™s Sharing Society anytime between 11am-5pm starting at Florence Filberg Centre at 411 Anderton Avenue

  • Discover the origin stories, history and languages of the Kโ€™oฬmoks First Nation (https://komoks.ca/)

  • Access learning resources at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (https://nctr.ca/)
