#ActOnReconciliation by checking out the Tony Cote First Nations Summer Games
July 28, 2022 - 8:19am
- Wearing your EveryChildMatters shirt or any other orange shirt.
- As part of its response to the TRC Calls to Action in Sports and Reconciliation, the City of Saskatoon is a proud partner of the 2022 Tony Cote First Nations Summer Games (July 24-30). In 1974, Chief Tony Cote, the council of Cote First Nation, and their membership initiated these Games. Over the course of the 7-day event, Nations across Saskatchewan compete in various athletic events including archery, beach volleyball, canoe/kayak, golf, soccer, and softball. Please consider attending one of the remaining events OR following the games virtually via Facebook.
- Help build awareness for Reconciliation by joining the online conversation using hashtag #ActOnReconciliation.
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 highlighting Reconciliation actions and activities. 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, the City’s Prairie Wind art installation outside the Remai Modern, and SaskTel Centre.
#ActOnReconciliation – July Action
On Friday, July 29, 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.
