🧡 Truth and Reconciliation Day 🧡
Today, Home Children Canada honours the children who never made it home from residential schools, the Survivors, and their families.
While distinct, the stories of Indigenous children and British Home Children share painful truths of separation, loss, and silenced voices. On this day, we remember, we listen, and we commit to ensuring these children are never forgotten.
Every child mattered then. Every child matters now. 🧡
