Miywasin hosting event for Truth and Reconciliation

By Medicine Hat News on September 28, 2021.

In observance of the inaugural National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Miywasin Friendship Centre will be holding an event Thursday from 5-7 p.m. at Riverside Veteran’s Memorial Park. The event will include prayers, singing and a ceremony honouring residential school survivors.

Brenda Mercer, cultural co-ordinator at Miywasin, says “This is a day to inform and understand.”

She hopes this event can bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members together.

Attendees are invited to wear orange in honour of Orange Shirt Day, which also takes place Sept. 30.
