167 - Turtle Island Healing Walk 🧡
It’s been a year since thousands first gathered at Victoria Park to mourn the children lost to Canada’s residential school system and march in solidarity with Survivors from the Indigenous community.
Tomorrow, we’ll meet in the park again at 9:30am for the second annual Turtle Island Healing Walk.
As more Londoners look to re-frame their approach to Canada Day, we’re thankful for opportunities like this. While the road to healing will take more than a lap around the block once a year, for many, these steps will be our first. For others, the walk will re-form our resolve as together we are re-oriented toward truth and reconciliation.
On July 1st, we walk for them.
