National Day for Truth and Reconciliation — Learning and Action Workshop

Thursday, September 30, 2021
Free Admission
Location: Joey & Toby Tanenbaum Pavilion
Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 to mark the massive impact of residential schools upon Indigenous communities since their rise in the late 19th and 20thCenturies. This day of observance has now been recognized as a statutory day of remembrance, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
As part of this day, the AGH is hosting a workshop led by Hamilton Indigenous community members Jordan Carrier, Michael Blashkoand Rebecca Hammond. The workshop will combine stories and discussion on how we should understand this day, and how we can better follow through on the collective work of reconciliation.
Admission is Free.
