On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Guelph Indigenous Community Council, Guelph Outdoor School, and Guelph Museums offer an after-school gathering that honours the children lost to residential schools and supports the healing of survivors and their families.
Children, youth, and community members are invited to come together in a spirit of remembrance and renewal. Guided by the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, through land-based and Indigenous teachings—including a sacred fire, indoor and outdoor activities, and a special raptor presentation —we will celebrate the language, ceremony, community, and joy that were unjustly taken.
