National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - Honour Walk (Brockville)
Details
The day is dedicated to honoring the survivors of the Indian residential school system and recognizing the impact of this system on Indigenous communities.
The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations, inspired by the story of Phyllis Webstad, whose orange shirt was taken from her on her first day of school.
Details: Tee Pick-up will be in Front Foyer from 9am-11am, the Honour Walk will start at noon, and we'll convene in the Front Foyer to walk to to the Outdoor Gazebo for a feast and reflection. Alternate location, in case of rain, will be SAC student lounge.
Food Provided (Indigenous food will be available after the Walk )
