September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Throughout Truth and Reconciliation Week (September 23-27), we'll be taking the time to learn about Indigenous history, in recognition of the survivors and victims of Residential Schools.
You can register for the Lunch and Learn webinars provided by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, shared below, or watch them on YouTube. We've also shared some Profiles of Recognition of Indigenous activists within the Labour Movement who have dedicated themselves to fighting for Indigenous rights, and more resource links you can explore.
If you have any resources or stories you'd like to share with us, please feel free to email them to: [email protected].
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
