September 30 is Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This week in Surrey Schools we will learn more about Residential Schools and the impact this and other forms of oppressive colonialism have had on Indigenous Peoples, and how this affects all Canadians.
On Monday, the teachers and other staff members of LTSS had a Professional Development opportunity at the Kwantlen Cultural Center. All week long, staff will continue with Professional Development to learn more about such things as Indigenous language, art and culture.
Together, staff and students at LTSS are encouraged to take some time this week to prepare for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to take advantage of all of this week’s different opportunities to learn more about issues and ideas that are vital to Indigenous Peoples, including the horrible legacy of Residential Schools and our national desire for Truth and Reconciliation.
