Join us to commemorate this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Rotary Club of Guelph in partnership with True North Aid invites you to bring the family to the 2024 Reconciliation Walk in Guelph, Sunday September 29 @ Riverside Park. The gentle walk takes about one hour, any time between 10am and 3pm - rain or shine. Remember to wear your Orange Shirt and bring your own water bottle (Guelph Water Truck will be on-site for free refills). Volunteers are needed!
ABOUT THE RECONCILIATION WALK
Indigenous voices call upon all Canadians to do the work that is asked of us, by educating ourselves and our peers as to the truth about Canada’s residential school legacy and its resulting harm. Thus, the Reconciliation Walk is an educational opportunity to learn about this chapter in Canada. Presented as reading stations along a wooded trail, this self-guided experience is both interactive and meaningful.
True North Aid’s Annual Reconciliation Walk is also an opportunity to support Orange Shirt Day, by encouraging participants to wear their orange shirts while they reflect upon Canada’s past and present relationship with Indigenous peoples.
