Today, on September 30th, we recognize National Day for Truth & Reconciliation alongside Orange Shirt Day. The orange shirt symbolizes the deep impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities in Canada. In BC's Land of Hidden Waters, we pay special tribute to the Secwépemc (Shuswap), Syilx (Okanagan), and Nlaka'pamux (Thompson) Peoples, the original stewards of this land. Together, let us unite in understanding and solidarity, recognizing the historical trauma, and championing a journey toward healing for all. 🧡
