The Orange Shirt / National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Day Walk Each year, September 30, a federal statutory holiday, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. Wear Orange Orange Shirt Day, also taking place on September 30, is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations. Local Event One of the local events in recognition of Orange Shirt Day will be a walk from the Healing of the Seven Generations building at 300 Frederick Street to Victoria Park starting at 10:00 a.m. There will be drumming and Indigenous dancing once the group arrives at Victoria Park. As part of our club’s efforts toward Indigenous Learnings and Reconciliation we are inviting members who are interested and available (along with family and friends) to wear orange* and join in the walk. We will be gathering at the Frederick Street and Edna Street corner of the Frederick Street Mall at 9:15 a.m. We will have Rotary Vests to wear as well. So we know who all to expect and so we can join/walk as a group we are asking those planning to attend to please register by Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. *Any orange clothing is appropriate to wear but official Orange, Every Child Matters Shirts can be ordered from the Healing of the 7 Generations Office at https://h7gshop.square.site/shop/2. The ordered shirts will need to be picked up in person prior to the walk of Friday. |

A Visit to Woodside National Historic Site Woodside National Historic Site is the childhood home of former Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. King resided there from 1886 to 1893. The house was built in 1853 and has been restored to reflect the time when Mackenzie King was there and will be all decked out for the holiday season. In our 100th anniversary research we have learned that Mackenzie King was a frequent guest of the club back in 1922 and delivered an address on August 4, 1925 to a Rotary and Kiwanis combined meeting. We have arranged for an after-hours, private viewing. We can each explore the site at our own pace through self-guided tours but guides will be stationed throughout the house to answer any questions about the site. There is no fee for this family friendly event but registration is required to help with planning. Guests can be noted in the comment box on the registration page. Deadline for registration is Monday, November 28. Parking is limited and car-pooling is recommended. |
