We will be open on Truth and Reconciliation Day.
Being the descendant of a residential school survivor, this day is important to us as it gives time to sit with uncomfortable feelings.
We’re grateful to have a nationally recognized day where everyone takes time to learn about our shared histories, the institutions and systems that inflicted residential schools upon indigenous peoples, our collective future, and our path forward.
It’s nice to not be sitting in these feelings alone anymore and instead have the acknowledgment and promise from every community that what happened won’t happen again.
The residential school my family went to, Blue Quills Residential School, ran until 1990 and has recently been reclaimed as an indigenous university.
