#ActOnReconciliation by registering for “Let’s Talk Reconciliation”
March 24, 2022 - 2:28am
- Wearing your EveryChildMatters shirt or any other orange shirt.
- Registering for Reconciliation Saskatoon’s “Let’s Talk Reconciliation” on March 30th (11 a.m. to 12 p.m.). This is a 1-hour informal conversation about Truth and Reconciliation and how to move forward. You can bring your questions, experiences, and challenges—or just sit and listen. The conversation is facilitated by Indigenous educator Annie Battiste and joined by local Knowledge Keepers. The conversation is open to all, free of charge, and conducted via Zoom. Alternately, choose another Reconciliation action.
- Using the hashtag #ActOnReconciliation, share the action you’re taking on social media.
Following the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on September 30, 2021, the Saskatoon Tribal Council has initiated a campaign called #ActOnReconciliation. It’s intended to harness the momentum of NDTR and Orange Shirt Day (also September 30) and keep Reconciliation top of mind all year long. The campaign calls for action and awareness on the last Friday of each month in 2022.
The City is supporting the #ActOnReconciliation campaign by suggesting a specific Reconciliation action for each month. As well, to further heighten awareness, the City will apply an orange filter to their social media accounts and light the following civic facilities in orange: City Hall and the Prairie Wind art installation outside the Remai Modern.
#ActOnReconciliation – March Action
On Friday, March 25th, demonstrate your commitment to Reconciliation by:
In order to establish and maintain a mutually respectful relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) found that “there has to be awareness of the past, an acknowledgement of the harm that has been inflicted, atonement for the causes, and action to change behaviour.”
The City has been actively engaged – as a municipality, co-chair of Reconciliation Saskatoon, and through other community partnerships – in efforts to help raise awareness about Reconciliation and in providing opportunities to participate. Learn more at saskatoon.ca/Indigenous.
