Description
Orange Shirt Day is a time for reflection, learning, and remembrance. It invites Canadians to confront the legacy of residential schools and engage in meaningful conversations about reconciliation.
Let's join together for a hike as we share and learn from each other about reconciliation. I'll share what I have learned on my journey of learning while we explore the medicine garden, community gardens and a depending on team interest a visit to a Caledon historical site. There will be a raffle of a book by one of my favourite Indigenous authors at the end of the formal hike 🙂
A park pass can be obtained on site or through https://trca.ca/parks/albion-hills-conservation-area/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=GMBlisting&utm_campaign=AlbionHills#albfees
We will meet at 9AM at Chalet parking lot. Please be on time. There are restrooms at the chalet and throughout the park, and we will decide as a team our path to the medicine garden and back.
Please wear your orange shirt if you have one, and if you don't and wish to get one: https://orangeshirtday.org/merchandise/ and/or local vendors including Mark's warehouse/Cdn Tire.
