Hi everyone,
Today is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, and we want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to pause and reflect on the profound significance of this observance. This day is dedicated to understanding and recognizing the historical and enduring impact of Canada's residential school system on Indigenous communities.
It's a day to remember the survivors, their families, and those who never returned. Let's take this opportunity to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and support reconciliation efforts. We reflect on history to ensure that such injustices are never repeated. Our commitment to building an inclusive, empathetic, and knowledgeable work environment begins with acknowledging and understanding our shared history.
We encourage each of you to participate in any events or activities that resonate with you, and let's support one another as we navigate this journey of awareness and healing together.
Thank you,

Hey everyone,
Today marks the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, and in tandem, we're observing Orange Shirt Day 🧡, a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the experiences of Indigenous children in the residential school system. Wearing orange is a visual pledge to remember and support the survivors, and also those who never made it back home.
The depth of Canada's residential school history touches many souls, urging us to connect, reflect, and ensure such pains don't repeat. As we wear our orange shirts today, let's dive into our shared past, engage in enriching conversations, and take steps towards a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow.
Let's embrace this day fully, participate in events that resonate, and stand by each other in this journey of understanding and healing.
