Today we honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the lasting impacts of residential schools on Indigenous Peoples and communities.

Truth and Reconciliation isn't limited to one day on the calendar. It requires ongoing learning, meaningful relationships, and action.

At 211 Ontario North, we're committed to helping connect people with Indigenous-led organizations and culturally appropriate community services across the province. 🧡
