Every Child Matters. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
Today, we wear orange to honour the children who never came home, the survivors who carry the truths of their experiences, and the families and communities forever impacted by the residential school system. But our commitment cannot end with one day of recognition.
We honour the courage of survivors who have shared their stories and entrusted us with their truths. Their voices continue to guide us toward understanding, accountability, healing, and reconciliation.
Denialism has no place in this journey. The truths have been spoken. Our responsibility is to listen, learn, acknowledge the past, and stand in unwavering support of survivors, their families, and their communities.
Today, take action. Learn the history. Listen to survivors. Challenge misinformation and denialism when you encounter it. Support Indigenous voices, initiatives, and communities. Reconciliation requires more than remembrance. It requires action.
Every Child Matters. Not just today, but every day.
