Today we recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡

Today is a day to listen, learn, reflect and remember.

We honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors who did, their families, and the generations who continue to live with the lasting impacts of the residential school system.

We are fortunate to live and work alongside Indigenous communities including Biigtigong Nishnaabeg and Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg. We recognize and respect the history, culture, strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples and the important responsibility we all share in learning the truth of our history.

Reconciliation is not something that can be accomplished in a single day. It begins with truth - with listening to Indigenous voices, understanding the past and recognizing how that history continues to affect people and communities today.

September 30th is an opportunity to remember, to learn, and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation through greater understanding, respect and meaningful action throughout the year.

Today, we wear orange and stand in remembrance and support.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Tomorrow is a very special day for our family - our daughter, Ayla, is graduating from Grade 8! 🎓 🎉

As many of our customers and friends know, Phil’s Waste Services is a family business in every sense of the word. Ayla has been “on the job” with us since she was just a few days old. From riding along with Mom and Dad, helping out around the office and shop, lending a hand at community events, and learning the value of hard work from an early age - she has truly grown up alongside our business.

Watching her develop into the smart, hardworking, responsible, and kind young woman she is today has been one of our greatest joys. We couldn’t be more proud of the person she has become.

Ayla - congratulations on reaching this important milestone. Your dedication and determination have brought you here, and we know this is only the beginning. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish in high school and beyond. The future is bright! We love you and are so proud to call you our daughter. ❤️

📢 Please note that our office will be closing early tomorrow (Friday, June 12th) at 3:00 PM (instead of 4:00 PM) so that our family can attend her graduation ceremony and celebrate this special occasion together.
