Honouring Truth and Reconciliation Across Sea to Sky Schools

In the lead-up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, students and staff across Sea to Sky Schools have been participating in learning, activities and events to honour the day and deepen their understanding of Truth and Reconciliation. Throughout the week, students and staff have also been encouraged to wear orange shirts to honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the ongoing impacts of the residential school system.

We encourage our school communities to continue learning, reflecting and taking part in meaningful actions toward reconciliation. Learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and ways to learn, reflect and participate by clicking on the headline.
