National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

We hope that you take the day to honour the lost children and the survivors of residential schools as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of these atrocities are an important step towards reconciliation. Please consider attending a public event to show your support for the Indigenous Communities.  Read more for an event hosted at the Vancouver Art Gallery on September 30 and at Britannia on October 2 and 3.
