Increasing Children’s Awareness and Understanding of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: A Community Collaborative Open House
Location: ECCDC Conference Room
Address: 3550 Schmon Parkway, Thorold ON L2V 4Y6

This open house will highlight the significance of Orange Shirt Day, increase understanding and awareness of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, feature resources and tools to increase children’s awareness of Orange Shirt Day, and participants will learn about the valuable services offered through our partnering agencies.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day takes place on September 30th and opens the door to meaningful conversations about residential schools and the intergenerational impacts they have left behind. It also offers us a chance to think more deeply about truth and reconciliation and how we can listen to and support survivors and their families moving forward.

This event has been sponsored by Métis Nation of Ontario, Fort Erie Friendship Centre, Niagara Regional Native Centre, and Brock University.
