Sept. 20, 2024

Library will host a variety of events and programs through September and October ‘designed to foster understanding, dialogue, healing, and amplify Indigenous voices’

The Innisfil ideaLAB and Library invites the community to participate in a series of activities throughout September and October in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. This important day honours the survivors of Canada’s residential school system, as well as the children who never made it home.

“Our library is committed to supporting the community in reflecting on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” says Library board chair, Anne Smith. “Together, we acknowledge the importance of educating ourselves about the history and lasting impact of the residential school system in Canada. This is a history that has shaped the lives of countless Indigenous peoples and continues to affect generations.”

This year, the Library will host a variety of events and programs designed to foster understanding, dialogue, healing, and amplify Indigenous voices.
