St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Brampton, ON

The first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is ,Thursday, September 30th, 2021. 

It is on this day the Church and we as a Denomination chose to reflect on the impact our role, both past and present, with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

To assist us on the path through Reconciliation to bring about the beginning of healing, the PCC has prepared material to reflect and learn (https://presbyterian.ca/justice/social-action/indigenous-justice/) and also the below video by Vivian Ketchum on Orange Shirt Day.

These materials are not easy to read and/or watch, but we encourage everyone to take time to watch/hear so that the journey of healing can start to begin.
