Every Child Matters - Truth and Reconciliation Day 2022

  • Montreal Mont Royal Park (map)

On September 30th, we will be holding our 2nd annual march to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. In honour of the children discovered in mass graves, residential school survivors and their families we invite all community members, organizations, and students to join us and learn from our powerful speakers. We will also hold a moment of silence in honour of those who recently passed away at James Smith Cree Nation, Saskatchewan.

We encourage you to wear an orange shirt and bring your drums.

The confirmed speakers so far are Ellen Gabriel (Katsi'tsakwas), Grand Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer, Chief Jessica Lazare, Ben Geboe, Steve McComber, and Elisapie Isaac.
