Love this #WellingtonWest initiative!

[Wellington West Business Improvement Area @Wellington_West]

Did you know? The first outdoor community fridge in Ottawa is located in #WellingtonWest! The community fridge, The Road Runner is there thanks to the team at @ParkdaleFood and their partners! Donated by @HintonburgCA, it runs on a "take what you need, leave what you can" motto.

Orange Shirt Day — a National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.

Thinking of my dad today. Did the little boy sitting alone in St Mary’s Indian Residential School all those years ago ever think we would see a day like today?

[Privy Council Office @PrivyCouncilCA]

Today is National Day for #TruthandReconciliation. #GC buildings will be illuminated with orange light in memory of the Indigenous children who did not return from residential schools & to honour the Survivors, their families, & their communities: https://t.co/lkTEhvPUCk

[Bureau du Conseil privé @ConseilPriveCA]

En cette Journée nationale de la #VéritéEtRéconciliation, les immeubles du #GC seront illuminés en orange pour honorer les enfants autochtones qui ne sont pas revenus des pensionnats ainsi que les survivants, leurs familles et leurs communautés : https://t.co/r5RLH0V0rs

The impact of colonialism is even engrained in our language.
Mntu is the Mi’kmaw word for ‘devil’

I have memories of being foolish in friends’ homes and having elders yell ‘jikla’sin mntu!’ (GTFO, devil)

[John Nick Jeddore @JohnJeddore]

Miawpukek is the name of my community, it means The Middle Tidal River.
When the community finally got recognition, the elders were asked what we should call the community, officially 1/2

[John Nick Jeddore @JohnJeddore]

Hey Twitter,

Today I will be sharing Mi’kmaw stories, language lessons, and photographs. I hope to demonstrate our vibrant history in NL, and also celebrate Indigenous resilience.

Hopefully folks find it interesting, and learn a few new things.

Many non-Indigenous people will be acknowledging Orange Shirt Day for the first time this year.
