National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡
Today, as we mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on the artwork chosen to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, their families, and communities.
At the centre, a feather, a narwhal, and a flower represent the distinct cultures of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, woven together in a circular flow to reflect connection.
The stars surrounding the moon above symbolize the children who never returned home, reminding us of their enduring place in our hearts and memory.
The dotted patterns emulate traditional beadwork, signifying the vital role of passing down art, culture, and traditions through generations.
The winding, flowing lines connect land, water, communities, and generations, a reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing, continuous journey.
The vibrant orange backdrop stands for remembrance and reinforces the essential truth that Every Child Matters.
