Walk for Reconciliation Guide | |
The South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District is pleased to present a Walk for Reconciliation Guide. This guide aims to provide sport, culture and recreation groups the information and resources needed to host a reconciliation walking event. Every community and situation is different, and we invite you, as the expert in your own community, to use this guide in a way that is appropriate, impactful and safe in your respective environments and situations.
It is important to note that each municipality and/or organization will be at a different point in its journey to support reconciliation and that this guide should not be considered as the only option, but a resource of suggestions for those groups that are starting out. It is a tool meant to help share and grow reconciliation efforts!
Why host a reconciliation walking event?
- Helps to build capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.
- Is an opportunity to work with community partners, and Indigenous communities and organizations to learn and build.
- Can happen anytime; or can be held in June in conjunction with Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21), or in September {Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth & Reconciliation on September 30}.

Canada has long prided itself as a country of people who volunteer, serve, and participate. However, this landscape is shifting and trends on volunteerism and participation have been declining, especially post-pandemic. As community needs and volunteer motivations change, we need to find new ways to reinvigorate community participation.
Volunteer Canada is navigating the complexities of modern volunteerism and is working to remove participation barriers so that every individual feels empowered to contribute to building more connected communities.

Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters - September 30 | The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30th opens the door to global conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind. A discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation. A day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected. Every Child Matters, even if they are an adult, from now on. | |
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - September 30 | |
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation occurs on September 30. This day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the resiliency of their communities. We encourage everyone to take the time on this day—and all days—to acknowledge and better understand the history and harms done, explore the vast learning resources available, donate to and support important related causes and organizations, and participate in programs created and led by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit organizers. | |
