As the week has progressed, there has been much discussion and learning in our schools about Treaties, Land Acknowledgements, Language and Culture, Truth, Reconciliation and Beyond.
Thursday, September 29, 2022 will see Orange Shirt Day recognized in many of our schools. For more information about Phyllis Webstad's meaningful story, visit: https://www.orangeshirtday.org/phyllis-story.html
On Friday, September 30, 2022, our schools will be closed in honour of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
