This Thursday, September 30th we will be closed to honour National Truth and Reconciliation Day. The day commemorates the history and ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and honours those who were lost and the survivors, families, and communities who continue to grieve. The CMHA BC – Victoria Office is located on the traditional, unceded lands of the Lekwungen (Songhees) and Wyomilth (Esquimalt) Nations.
⠀
We are encouraged to use this opportunity to consider what each of us can do to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, and to better understand and learn from the truth of our shared history. ⠀
⠀
At CMHA Victoria, we are committed to acting on the Truth and Reconciliation Calls for Action.
