As we mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and #OrangeShirtDay, we need to ask how do we honour Indigenous identities? Inspired by @WRDSB students who are responding to #TRC to change their community. #EveryChildMatters

REMINDER: Tomorrow is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and #OrangeShirtDay. If you are able, we invite our community to wear orange, whether it is a shirt, ribbon, bracelet, etc., to honour Residential school survivors, those who did not survive, and their families. 🧡

Thank you to the @WR_Record for helping me share this message – we have a duty and responsibility to help all students in the @WRDSB to be successful, but we know this has never been true for some students. What matters most is what we do next: wrdsb.social/3OkgLST
