Tomorrow is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This annual event is held in September to honour residential school survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.
Tomorrow, all Canadians are invited to reflect on concrete actions for reconciliation and recognition of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, their history, rights, cultures and languages.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we’re offering this special edition of Dogwood News with educational resources, events and actions to help British Columbians better understand and respect Indigenous cultures and history. I hope this helps on your journey to becoming a stronger ally to Indigenous friends and neighbours.
There are many resources beyond what we’ve listed here that can be found online, in libraries and bookstores. But hopefully there’s enough in this edition that you can save and return to for months or years to come.
