AESS hosts speakers, community walk
Agassiz Elementary Secondary School students took to the streets of Agassiz during their walk to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Friday, Sept. 27.
Seabird Island (Sq’éwqel) Elder Mike Joe, who spoke at an assembly on Friday morning, said he was pleased to see how many young people were getting involved in the day’s observance.
“All children matter,” he told the students. “Each one of you who is out there, you matter. You are good people. You do have good hearts. Whatever you do in life, go with your heart. Take the time to love yourself for who you are.”
