The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is happening this Saturday, for the third time in Canada's history. Our office will be closed on Friday in observance of the day, while our daycare will be open with regular hours. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a dedicated day for all Canadians to reflect, learn more about the history of colonialism and its impact on Canada's Indigenous populations, and for communities to show support and join the efforts led by the original inhabitants of Canada to heal and recover. If you are looking for local opportunities to participate in Truth and Reconciliation activities, WACA is Moose Jaw's First Nations Community Group (Wakamow Aboriginal Community Association) and they have organized an impressive variety of events for the community that will happen over three days, starting September 29th. WACA will be hosting a Powwow at the Western Development Museum from Friday to Sunday that will include many performances of traditional dances, speeches from dignitaries, entertainers, food vendors and more. These events are free and everyone in the community is welcome to come out! You can follow WACA's page on Facebook for updates.
