This is an opportunity for us all to exhibit our commitment toward honoring the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions of Canada's Calls to Action.

Day 4 — September 29 — will feature an in-person gathering in Mississauga titled Gidinawendimin - We Are All Related. This live stage program will also be streamed live for classrooms to view from coast to coast to coast. Interested in attending? Visit our website to learn how.
