Today, September 30th, marks the 4th annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. A day for all Canadians to honour the strength, resilience, and stories of Indigenous Peoples, and to reflect.

In the North Thompson Valley, we are located on the traditional, unceded territories of the Secwépemc people. It is essential to recognize the ongoing impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities. As well as value the importance of understanding the land we live on, and visit while travelling.

We invite everyone to take this opportunity to learn, listen, and engage with the Indigenous culture and history that surrounds us. Visit Indigenous-led tourism experiences to hear stories from the Secwépemc people and join events happening in the region.
