Reconciliation Walk at Riverside Park honours Indigenous history – Global News
September 27, 2024
A Reconciliation Walk is taking place on Sunday in Guelph so residents can learn more about Canada’s Indigenous history.
The Rotary Club of Guelph, in partnership with Indigenous charity True North Aid, is hosting a walk at Riverside Park to support National Truth and Reconciliation Day on Monday.
Eleni Bakopoulos, the Rotary’s Indigenous awareness lead, said the walk is an opportunity to educate people about Canada’s residential school legacy.
“How do you look at a difficult history and walk away from it feeling not just sad but hopeful? And I think that’s what we want: people to come to this event, to understand that history, the truth behind it, some of the real difficult aspects, but also kind of feel like you’re leaving towards a hopeful future for Canda,” Bakopoulos said.
