September 30th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
/
Hello Wardens, Clergy and friends,
We would like to inform you that the Diocesan Staff will be honouring the newly established Federal Stat National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th.
We encourage everyone not simply to take time off but to use it as an opportunity to spend some time learning and reflecting on Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and considering the TRC calls to action.
Below are links to the
Reconciliation Toolkit from the National Church.
The U of A Indigenous Studies course

Reconciliation toolkit - The Anglican Church of Canada
For more than three decades, the Anglican Church of Canada has been on a journey of listening, truth-telling, repentance and healing with Indigenous Peoples, both within and outside the church. There is an urgent need for further healing and justice-seeking across the land, and we all have a role to play.
