Let us take a moment to reflect on "Thanksgiving". For some Indigenous communities today is marked as a national day of mourning, due to the colonial harm that took place when early settlers arrived on Indigenous land.

As we continue to support, listen and make room for the voices that are within the Indigenous community, click on the Linktree in our bio to read about Norman Retasket's story of surviving the Kamloops Indian Residential School. #EveryChildMatters.
