Here is what’s on for Truth and Reconciliation Day in Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat College, the Miywasin Friendship Centre and the Firekeepers Women’s Society will host several outdoor activities for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The third annual event will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 30 at the college’s Medicine Hat campus.
It will feature a walk for reconciliation, story sharing led by Indigenous elders, a blanket ceremony, honour song and round dance, organizers said.
Nicki Eastly, student services specialist for the college’s Indigenous engagement and student supports, said it will be a day to bring awareness and acknowledge the pain and trauma caused by residential schools.
