June 21

Good morning!  Today is Day 5.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day.  We would like to acknowledge that Mossbank School is located on the original lands of the Cree, Ojibwe, Saulteau, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and the homeland of the Metis People.

We pay our respects to the First Nations and Metis ancestors of Treaty 4 Territory and reaffirm our commitment to move forward in partnership with First Nations People in a a spirit of collaboration and reconciliation.

There are 94 Calls to Action that were developed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  Several of the Calls to Action relate to the legacy of the Residential Schools.  So, one of the first steps for many Canadians is to become educated about the Residential School System in Canada.  Teachers please take a few minutes this morning and share some age appropriate knowledge about residential schools.  Or ask your students what they know about residential schools and do an “add-on”.

Happy birthday to Paige B. and Nikita.
