    Ways to Honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [24 September, 2024] – National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed on September 30, a day to reflect on the painful and lasting impacts of the residential school system and to honour the survivors, their families and communities. Reconciliation means acknowledging the truth of our shared history. Take this time to learn more.

    Ways Community Members can honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation:

    Flag Raising Event
    Date: Friday, September 27th
    Time: 4:00 p.m.
    Location: Community Flag Pole, Collingwood Public Library, 55 Ste. Marie Street 

    Join us as we raise the Every Child Matters Flag to commemorate the tragic history of the residential school system and honor the innocent lives taken and the intergenerational survivors. Attendees are invited to add a feather of intention to the Every Child Matters artwork created by CCI students in 2023, reflecting on individual actions that can strengthen relationships and pave the way towards reconciliation. 

    Poetry Installation
    Starting: Monday, September 30th
    Location: Harbourview Park 

    Explore a new poetry installation by Collingwood Poet Laureate Jillian Morris, featuring the poem “Spare a Moment.” This installation can be found along the trail through the forest, just west of the Awen’ Gathering Circle. A dedicated Truth & Reconciliation sign will be positioned at the entrance to the snowshoe trail. We encourage visitors to take a moment to reflect and engage with the poem as they walk the trail.

    Wear Orange on September 30th
    In honor of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also recognized as Orange Shirt Day, we invite all community members to wear orange on Monday, September 30th. Every Child Matters buttons will be available at Town Hall, while supplies last, starting Monday, September 23rd during regular business hours.

    Orange Feathers in the Community
    To further commemorate National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, orange feathers will be mounted to the light standards downtown. Each feather will feature a QR code that links to resources available on the Awen’ Gathering Place webpage.

    Together, let’s reflect on the truths of our shared history and work towards a reconciled future for all.

    *The Town Hall & Municipal Offices, the Collingwood Museum and Collingwood Public Library will be closed on September 30th in recognition of this important day. Transit will operate as scheduled.
