Every child matters. If you were like me, you grew up hearing one side of the story. It’s important to listen to all sides. I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from and work with First Nation and Métis elders over the years.

This month’s book club read was @davidarobertson.bsky.social 52 Ways To Reconcile and it is fantastic. A book to have & reread and a book to give to others. So many ideas on how to take action, learn & build a reconciled country. It would be great if all Canadians read this.
