The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually in Canada on September 30 to honor residential school survivors, their families, and communities. It acknowledges the tragic history, ongoing impacts, and intergenerational trauma of the Canadian Indian residential school system.

In the centre of an orange background are three symbols: a feather, a narwhal, and a flower. Each symbol represents the distinct cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, brought together in a circular flowing composition to reflect the connection between the groups.

Above the central elements, stars surrounding the moon honour the children who never returned home from residential schools and symbolize their enduring place in our thoughts and memory. The dotted patterns evoke beadwork and reflect the importance of passing down art, culture and traditions from one generation to the next.

Flowing lines connect the elements of the design, reflecting the connections between land, water, communities and generations. Their winding path represents the journey of reconciliation and reminds us that reconciliation is an ongoing process.

To celebrate Dolly Parton Day, do something kind today. Donate books or share one of her songs, read to kids or shelter dogs, share some laughter in her honor. It would make her smile and we sure could use some joy right about now. RIP Dolly #DollyParton925

Zelenskyy’s UN speech hit the nail on the head: "Something always seems to stop Putin from simply saying that’s it, enough, peace. He is always looking for someone who can help take another country instead of stopping and running his own country." Dictators don't want peace; they want empire. 🇺🇦

America, this is the very moment in time that will define your destiny… don’t think that your vote doesn’t matter, as your country and indeed the world counts on you to stand up for what is right and just. Peace, freedom and respect can be yours again. music.youtube.com/watch?v=jKsU...

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes & ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up & speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency & justice." ~RFK

Americans: "Both parties are the same." Trump raped children, demolished the White House, put his name on everything, and grifted billions from supporters and taxpayers. Obama was also mired in controversy: he tried to pay for healthcare for Americans. Same, right?

Jean Chrétien had a message for 'our American friends' while speaking at the 9/11 commemoration. 'Canadians are tolerant and kind,' said the former PM in front of the U.S. ambassador. '[But] never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness.'
