Art by @morning.star.designs 🧡⁠ ⁠ On this d Art by @morning.star.designs 🧡⁠ ⁠ On this day of Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge all the pain and suffering that has occurred and continues to occur on these lands we call Canada and apologize that we have not been able to better care for and protect all of our people here, especially the children. ⁠ ⁠ Today, we honour those children who never returned home, those that suffered and their families and future generations that endured residential schools and the history of discrimination, destruction, and systems of oppression that we continue to work to dismantle. ⁠ ⁠ We commit to respecting each other and building a Nation of many Nations that honours and provides equal opportunities for all. ⁠ ⁠ We encourage everyone to learn the true history and original culture of these lands. It not only makes a land acknowledgement more meaningful but also what we co-create together on these lands richer.⁠ ⁠ #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay
