🧡Join us throughout September as we share ideas for how children, families, and communities can participate in Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today's action: Learn about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.

The Calls to Action provide a roadmap for advancing reconciliation and fairness. Take time to read them and think about what actions you can take to support meaningful change. Children can explore Spirit Bear's Guide to the Calls to Action and identify a goal they can work toward with classmates, friends, or family members.

Every step toward learning and understanding helps strengthen reconciliation.
