We at CCAWR stand in solidarity today & everyday with Indigenous peoples, the first inhabitants of this land. We recognize the pain and violence inflicted on residential school survivors and grief in mourning those who did not survive. We support accountability & reconciliation.

Indigenous artwork by Tsista Kennedy is being shared with the community through a @GRT_ROW bus wrap & mural. Tsista is an Anishinaabe Onyota’a:ka artist who uses symbolism to connect the story of the bison with that of Indigenous People: https://t.co/LkD8YZtr69

Great to meet the CSJ students at @CCAWR who worked in the ‘LIFTOFF’ program. LIFTOFF is a highlight for CCAWR & aims to support black entrepreneurs gain experience & networking opportunities. The students were tasked w/ various jobs such as social media outreach & development.
