Everyone welcome to join in these upcoming bus trips!

Coming up October 18 is a Casino of the Rockies day (schedule in comments on this post). The bus is FREE but you need to pay for your own casino time!

And then on November 21 is a Key City Theatre outing to see Crash Test Dummies and their Jingle All the Way concert! Again, the bus is FREE but you do need to purchase a ticket for $63.50. Tickets have been pre-purchased so you just need to register with Courtney and pay your ticket price.

Please stop in to the Seniors Centre office to signup for either of these great trips or email [email protected] to register soon!

Tomorrow, September 30, is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It is a day to remember the children who were taken from their families and communities and the survivors of residential schools, while taking time to learn about the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the importance of reconciliation.

We encourage our community to listen, learn, and reflect and to recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing commitment, not something that happens in a single day.

Here in Fernie, Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi’it First Nation and the City of Fernie are hosting a Truth and Reconciliation Walk and ceremony at Fernie City Hall tomorrow, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Community members are welcome to attend and are encouraged to wear orange.

We invite our members and community to take part, listen to Indigenous voices and leadership, and continue learning throughout the year.

September 30 is a day to remember, listen, learn, and recommit to the work of reconciliation.
