Every Day is a Good Day for Reconciliation
About
Come and see some of the pledges and commitments made by attendees of Sept. 30 2024's Intergenerational March for Orange Shirt Day at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre! A sample of the over 500 plus cards attendees filled out on September 30th, 2024 has been made available for viewing, reminding viewers that our commitments to reconciliation are more than one day a year, they are ongoing and continuous.
As 2025 begins, we ask ourselves what commitment to reconciliation can we resolve to give? In what ways, big or small, can we take steps towards reconciliation? As the late Honourable Murray Sinclair stated:
If we move forward without remembering, then we are not the people we should be. Even newcomers must feel the weight of this process of reconciliation because, even if you weren’t here, you still have a responsibility to the future of this country and therefore you need to understand this. Reconciliation is about establishing a relationship of mutual respect. We respect each other … that’s what this country should be about.
