Community Event: Reconciliation Walk

Organized by True North Aid and The Rotary Club of Guelph

Join us to commemorate this year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and visit the Bookmobile to borrow a book and learn from Indigenous voices. All ages.

The Reconciliation Walk is a free, self-guided walk following the chronological history of residential schools in Canada, because education is an important step in reconciliation.

Visit the Bookmobile at the Reconciliation Walk in Riverside Park to borrow a book and browse a reading list to learn about your part in reconciliation and to learn from Indigenous writers.

About the Reconciliation Walk

Indigenous voices call upon all Canadians to do the work that is asked of us, by educating ourselves and our peers as to the truth about Canada’s residential school legacy and its resulting harm. Thus, the Reconciliation Walk is an educational opportunity to learn about this chapter in Canada. Presented as reading stations along a wooded trail, this self-guided experience is both interactive and meaningful.
 
True North Aid’s Annual Reconciliation Walk is also an opportunity to support Orange Shirt Day, by encouraging participants to wear their orange shirts while they reflect upon Canada’s past and present relationship with Indigenous peoples.
