Today we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡 We remember the children who never came home and honour survivors, families, and communities. In our schools, this work continues through learning, listening, and understanding. #CRSD72 #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
Learning, reflection and community connection. 🧡 Today, students across SD72 recognized Orange Shirt Day through assemblies, learning activities and conversations about the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools. Several schools, like Georgia Park Elementary, ended their assembly with a community walk to learn and reflect together. These moments help students deepen their understanding of truth and reconciliation while building empathy, respect and a stronger sense of community. #CRSD72 #OrangeShirtDay #TruthAndReconciliation
