City of Campbell River Shares Resources on Indigenous Allyship
The City of Campbell River is inviting residents to practice allyship with Indigenous Peoples on Saturday, Sept. 30.
Saturday is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. City facilities will be closed to allow the public and staff the chance to meaningfully honour this important day. The city is encouraging people to wear orange in recognition and honour of the children, families and communities impacted by residential schools in Canada.
“The City of Campbell River recognizes and honours the individuals, families and communities affected by the residential school system and its legacy and is committed to advancing reconciliation through collaboration, knowledge sharing and relationship building,” says Rose Klukas, Director of Economic Development and Indigenous Relations. “Over the past year, the city has held council-to-council meetings with First Nations governments and facilitated opportunities for city council and staff to learn more about Indigenous history and cultures. We look forward to future opportunities to continue this important work.”
