Truth and Reconciliation Day 🧡 September 30 To Truth and Reconciliation Day
🧡 September 30

Today, we come together to honour the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never made it home. This day is a powerful reminder of the truth that must be heard and remembered — especially by the next generation.

For women and youth, Truth and Reconciliation is also about healing, empowerment, and education. It's about learning the true history of this land and standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities.

🧡 As women, we recognize the deep strength of Indigenous women, mothers, grandmothers, and matriarchs — past and present — who continue to lead healing and resistance.
🧡 As youth, your voices are powerful. You are the future of reconciliation. By listening, learning, and speaking up, you can help create a Canada where every child truly matters.

Let’s wear orange to remember, to respect, and to act.
Because every child matters.
Because truth must come before reconciliation.
Because change begins with us.

Gender Equality Week: Gender Equality Week is a t Gender Equality Week:

Gender Equality Week is a time to reflect on how far we've come—and how far we still have to go—in creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression, has the freedom and opportunity to thrive.

It's a reminder that gender equality is not just a women's issue—it’s a human issue. When we uplift and empower all genders, we build stronger communities, fairer workplaces, and a more just society. This week, we celebrate the achievements of those who have paved the way for change, while also recognizing the need for continued action to break down barriers, challenge harmful stereotypes, and eliminate discrimination in all forms.

Whether it’s advocating for equal pay, supporting inclusive education, addressing gender-based violence, or simply listening and learning, we all have a role to play.

Let’s use this week as an opportunity to raise awareness, educate ourselves and others, and commit to lasting change—because equality benefits everyone.

Equal rights. Equal opportunities. Equal respect. Always.
