    Qalipu First  Nations Chief Jenny Brake says the day is also recognized as “Orange Shirt Day,” something which resonates deeply with Indigenous communities and is a time for reflection.

    Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time when people gather to honour Residential School Survivors, their families and communities. It’s a vital part of reconciliation, as many speak of the painful and tragic history, as well as the ongoing impacts of residential schools. Qalipu First  Nations Chief Jenny Brake says the day is also recognized as “Orange Shirt Day,” something which resonates deeply with Indigenous communities and is a time for reflection. The Chief says more and more people attend events marking the day and she hopes that continues. The Qalipu are hosting an event this morning at the Majestic Lawn and at the Rotary Arts Centre this afternoon.
