The Path forward: unity through understanding – Castanet
Sep 26, 2025
On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we gather on the ancestral territories of Tk̓emlúps and T̓éxelc to honour the strength, resilience and enduring spirit of Indigenous Peoples. We remember Le Estcwicwéy̓, the missing, whose remains were confirmed at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site, and we honour the courage and determination of survivors who have shared their truths to create a path toward healing.
The community of Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc, in bringing this truth to light, demonstrates the power of Indigenous knowledge, cultural strength and community resilience. Their ongoing work to honour the children and support healing reflects the profound wisdom and caring that have sustained Indigenous communities for generations.
