National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, an opportunity to reflect on the impact of residential schools and the ongoing issues that affect the Indigenous Peoples who live in Canada.
Parkland County Centre and the Entwistle Community Recreation Centre are both presenting Dennis Saddleman's poem and video, "Monster - A Residential School Experience" for viewing. Residents are welcome to stop by to view the display and resources.
‘The Orange Shirt Story’ by Phyllis Webstad has been made into StoryWalks which are displayed in the trails in Wabamun and Prospectors Point. This provides a way for individuals, families and community to walk towards empathy as they continue to learn and build on their understanding of the impacts of the residential school system. The StoryWalks will be displayed until October 4.
