Every Child Matters. 🧡
Today is a day to listen, learn, reflect and acknowledge the lasting impact of residential schools in Canada.
Our office is closed today but as always, you can still reach your REALTOR® directly by cell phone or email.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to recognize the day, Winnipeg has several opportunities to listen, learn and participate today:
🧡 6th Annual Orange Shirt Day Healing Walk & Pow Wow — Begins at 9:30 a.m. at Oodena Celebration Circle at The Forks National Historic Site. After the opening ceremony, the Healing Walk travels to Canada Life Centre, where the Pow Wow Grand Entry is at 1:00 p.m. This is hosted by the Southern Chiefs’ Organization and is specifically intended to honour residential school Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and support healing.
