🧡 Truth and Reconciliation Day – September 30
The Kitikmeot Friendship Society (KFS) would like to advise our community that the Arctic Willow Child Development Centre and KFS Main Office will be closed on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, in observance of Truth and Reconciliation Day.
This day provides an opportunity for us to pause, listen, learn, remember, and reflect on the experiences and lasting impacts of residential schools and the ongoing journey toward truth, healing, and reconciliation.
At KFS, we recognize the importance of creating space for Indigenous voices, stories, culture, and community healing. Reconciliation is not only about one day—it is an ongoing commitment that requires listening, understanding, respect, and action.
We encourage everyone to take time on September 30 to reflect, learn, and honour Survivors, their families, and those who were impacted by the residential school system.
🧡 Our regular hours will resume on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡
