CMA commemorates National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
On September 30th, we remember the children. The CMA staff will be taking the opportunity to listen and learn about the truth of residential school survivors and make space for healing. We look forward to sharing museum activities related to this day on our social media channels and promoting the good work that many Indigenous communities and museums are doing together to share truth and promote understanding.
For those who will be taking some reflective time, consider reviewing the following resources:
- National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation – Truth and Reconciliation Week
- Orange Shirt Day Society – Phyllis Webstad’s story
- First Nations Child and Family Caring Society – Spirit Bear
- CMA’s Moved to Action Report
Have an Indigenous-led resource to share with the Canadian museum community? Send your suggestions to communications@museums.ca.
Please note the CMA Offices will be closed on October 2 in observance of National Truth and Reconciliation Day.
