On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Off The Clock Toolbox Talk team honours survivors of the Canadian residential school system and commemorates the children who never made it home. We encourage our listeners to join us in the ongoing process of learning, listening and building relationships with Indigenous Peoples on this important journey towards reconciliation.
Here are three suggestions for you to learn more:
1) Please take the time to visit this powerful resource page created by the Canadian Red Cross which includes movies, documentaries, books, podcasts and reports (including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action). Please bookmark and share with others: https://tinyurl.com/fyrvm97j
2) Learn about the Survivors' Flag, an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada.
3) Watch today's livestream "Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation" presented by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, APTN, CBC and the Algonquin Nation. This year’s gathering featured powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors as well as moving performances by First ions, Inuit and Métis artists.
