â¨Today, we honour the children who never came home from residential schools, the Survivors, and their families and communities.
Learning begins with listening to Indigenous voices. If youâre looking for somewhere to start, read Phyllis Webstadâs story, which inspired Orange Shirt Day, and explore Dr. Cindy Blackstockâs work with the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society.
As a wellness clinic, we recognize our responsibility to keep learning about the ongoing impacts of colonialism and how to offer care that respects Indigenous identities, cultures, and experiences.
May todayâs reflection lead to ongoing action, through supporting Indigenous organizations, challenging racism, and making space for Indigenous voices throughout the year.
Every child matters. đ§Ą
