INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES
Truth and Reconciliation Walk and Ceremony
On Monday, September 29, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Indigenous Reconciliation, the district will host its second annual Walk for Truth and Reconciliation. Students and staff across the district will participate in a walk to honour the legacy of Residential school survivors and raise awareness about the importance of Reconciliation in Canada. Each school is organizing its own walk. Following the walk, a ceremony will take place in the theatre at North Delta Secondary School, which will be live streamed to all school and district sites. Please encourage your child to wear orange to school on Monday, September 29th.
Tuesday, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. If you’re wondering what you can do to recognize and honour the day, here are a few simple steps towards Reconciliation:
- Discover whose traditional territory you’re living or working on and then learn about those Nations. Both the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) (https://tsawwassenfirstnation.com/) and Musqueam Indian Band (https://www.musqueam.bc.ca/) websites have information about who they are and their histories.
- Check out the 94 Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action (https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf) Ask yourself if there is one Call that you can commit to acting on.
-
As many of us celebrate the back-to-school season, stop, and reflect on why it may not be easy for everyone. Find out more about Phyllis Webstad’s story (https://orangeshirtday.org/phyllis-story/)
