September's Call to Action

Help us bridge the educational disparities experienced

by Indigenous youth across Canada by giving to our Education Stone of Support.

Hello Amanda,

September is a significant month for True North Aid, as we make great efforts to support the education of Indigenous youth across Canada, as well as continue the reconciliatory education of our wider community.

For over 160 years, an estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were removed from their families and forced to attend one of the 699 operating Day Schools or one of the 140 Residential Schools in Canada. A damaging, generational consequence of this removal was denying Indigenous children the right to speak their language and practice their culture. 

With your support, True North Aid commits to improving access to education for Indigenous youth by fulfilling community requests for school supplies and culturally relevant books in northern and remote regions.

As we prepare for September 30th, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we extend a call to action to our wider organizational community.

Help us bridge the educational disparities experienced by Indigenous youth across Canada by giving to our Education Stone of Support.

Thank you for considering our invitation to join us in this call to action.
