TRUTH & RECONCILIATION RESOURCES
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We respectfully acknowledge that we operate on Treaty 6 territory—the traditional gathering place, travelling route, and home of many Indigenous Peoples, including the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Sioux, the Nations of Maskwacîs (Ermineskin Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, Louis Bull Tribe, and Montana First Nation), Enoch Cree Nation, the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, and Inuit Peoples whose presence continues to enrich this land. Their histories, languages, cultures, and traditions continue to shape and strengthen our communities. We honour and express our gratitude to the Knowledge Keepers, Elders, and all those who have come before us, as well as those who continue to walk with us today. We are committed to the ongoing journey of reconciliation through listening, learning, and meaningful action, and by respecting our shared responsibility as stewards of this land.

 Indigenous Awareness, Recognition & Reconciliation
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation takes place on September 30. This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendments made by Parliament to honour survivors, remember the children lost, and reflect on the ongoing impacts of residential schools.
Orange Shirt Day also takes place on September 30. This commemorative day is led by Indigenous communities to raise awareness about the intergenerational impacts of residential schools. It honours survivors and Indigenous children who were lost in the residential school system. MORE HERE
National Indigenous Peoples Month/Day is a Canada‑wide day of recognition and celebration held on in the month of June, especially June 21, to honour the cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
