Tomorrow is National Truth and Reconciliation Day. It is the first time in Canada's history that this will be a national holiday to remember and respect things that have happened in Canada's past. We are not proud of some of the horrible things that our government did in the past, but this is something that will help many First Nations' families start to heal. To honour the children who died at the residential schools, please do your part and wear an orange shirt tomorrow! Don't forget to watch this video for an explanation of what reconciliation is. |
