Join us on the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation as we pay respects to Indigenous children who never returned home from Canadian residential schools. In preparation for NDTR, anyone is invited once again to lay children's shoes at the Peace Garden. Some shoes will be carried on the Orange Shirt Walk down Roncesvalles on Sept 30th, where new Indigenous bench art murals will be dedicated, with ceremony.
On NDTR, please gather at the Peace Garden, to the music of Roncy Jam Factory. Songs composed by Tim Casswell on reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass" will be sung. Lyrics will be handed out to everyone, to join in.
Featuring Dawn Maracle, Mohawk Knowledge Keeper, who will give Haudenausone teachings on tobacco and strawberries.
The Orange Shirt Walk is about 15-20 minutes. Refreshments, including Cedar tea and a strawberry drink will be served.
A collaboration between the Friends of Dundas Roncesvalles Peace Garden and the Roncesvalles Village BIA.
