This is a come and go event being held at M’Wikwedong Indigenous Friendship Centre
1045 3rd Ave West, Owen Sound.
Join us for a Sacred Fire.
We will have tobacco available so that people can offer prayers.

We ask that those attending wear a mask and practice safe social distancing and COVID protocols.

The new stat holiday is called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is meant to be a day for Canadians to spread awareness of and reflect on the tragedies experienced by Indigenous people as a result of the country’s former residential school system.

“Orange Shirt Day” is a day when we honour those Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada.
