Each year, on the Sunday closest to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Parish of the Valley intentionally pauses to mark this national day. We wear orange as we honour and remember the children taken from their homes, often to attend church-run residential and day schools, and to honour and remember the many Indigenous people and families still living with the imapcts of the trauma of the residential school system.
Please join us in wearing orange on September 27th as we remember, honour, and mark this day as a parish.
