Today, we honour Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We remember Survivors, the children who never came home, and the lasting impacts of residential schools. The orange shirt reminds us that Every Child Matters.
This day is also a time to learn, reflect, and come together as a community. Across the Tri-Cities, local spaces offer opportunities to listen, participate, and deepen understanding:
• Glen Pine Pavilion: A community day of reflection and learning with activities for all ages
• Noons Creek Hatchery: A gathering with guest speaker Ed Hall from Kwikwetlem First Nation, along with art activities
If you prefer to learn at home, these resources offer thoughtful ways to reflect:
• Phyllis Webstad’s Story on Orange Shirt Day: https://orangeshirtday.org/about/phyllis-story/
• National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation: https://nctr.ca
Whether you join a local event, spend time learning, or take a quiet moment to reflect, we honour this day together in the spirit of truth, understanding, and reconciliation.
