Sculpture unveiling - Tamara Bell, Artist

“Art Installation to commemorate and honour the children who perished at residential schools across Canada (Turtle Island).  The permanent installation will feature columns of books arranged in a circle. The spines of the books that form each pillar will provide a flat surface on which a photograph of an Indigenous child who attended one of the many horrific Residential Schools will be applied.  Testimonies of the survivors and their descriptions of their painful experiences will be written on the outer surface of the pairs of shoes, with each pair positioned on the top of the book column.  The shoes will be tied with chains in place of laces, representing the bondage subjected upon each child who was forced to attend these schools”. - Tamara Bell

“Art Installation to commemorate and honour the children who perished at residential schools across Canada (Turtle Island).  The permanent installation will feature columns of books arranged in a circle.

Every year on September 30, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation honours the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

The creation of this federal statutory holiday was through legislative amendments made by Parliament. On June 3, 2021, Bill C-5, An Act to amend the Bills of Exchange Act, the Interpretation Act and the Canada Labour Code (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) received Royal Assent. 

On March 9, 2023, British Columbia passed legislation to make September 30 a statutory holiday in the province. This will be done through creating a new Act (The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Act) and amendments to the Employment Standards Act. 

All ���Ҵ�ý employees and students are encouraged to learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation via the  and  websites.

What is Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr ("Festival of Breaking the Fast") is a three-day Islamic festival celebrating the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

During Ramadan or the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims devote themselves to prayer, self-restraint, charity, and fasting from sunrise to sundown. This act is known as Sawm and is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.

When is Eid al-Fitr celebrated?

Eid al-Fitr takes place in the first three days of Shawwāl, or the 10th month in the Islamic lunar calendar, and dates may vary yearly. Considered a national holiday in Muslim countries, Eid al-Fitr is one of two major religious holidays. Eid al-Fitr, follows Ramadan and marks the breaking of the fast whereas Eid Al Adha, follows the Hajj pilgrimage and is considered as the festival of sacrifice. 

Eid al-Fitr is typically celebrated by participating in special morning prayers, gift-giving, visits with family and friends, charity, and special meals, especially sweets. To greet someone during this time, you may say, "Eid Mubarak!" and wish them a blessed festival/feast.

Did you know: As one of the most celebrated festivals around the world, Eid al-Fitr goes by several names, including ʿĪd al-Fiṭr, Küçük Bayram, Koriteh, Ramazan Bayramı and al-ʿĪd al-Ṣaghīr.

Creative exhibition share migrant womens' experiences with Belonging and Exclusion in Canada

With the recent government announcement of almost 1.5 million newcomers to Canada expected by 2025, how can we welcome them? Join us at an exhibition that explores the feelings of Belonging and Exclusion.

The opening will be held in the ���Ҵ�ý Broadway Event Space on Tuesday, November 15 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Please join us for refreshments and reflection.

Following the opening, the exhibition will remain in place until Friday, November 25.

This creative exhibition is the result of a Photovoice research project which asked approximately 40 migrant (forced and chosen) women about their experiences of Belonging and Exclusion in Canada. The exhibition of 50 photographs and quotes is a powerful learning experience that builds empathy among its audience. The voices of women who are not typically represented in the mainstream media are brought forward.

This Photovoice project was led by two faculty from the University of the Fraser Valley, and one faculty from ���Ҵ�ý. The exhibition is sponsored by the LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) Department with funding from the ���Ҵ�ý Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation honours the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

The creation of this federal statutory holiday was through legislative amendments made by Parliament. On June 3, 2021, Bill C-5, An Act to amend the Bills of Exchange Act, the Interpretation Act and the Canada Labour Code (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) received Royal Assent.

The provincial government of B.C. has advised all provincial public sector employers to plan for September 30, 2022, to again be observed as a day to celebrate the diverse cultures, resilience and contributions of Indigenous Peoples as well as to commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system.

For those in the ���Ҵ�ý community planning for the fall, we hope this information will help inform your calendars. At this time, it is unknown what day, or how, the National day for Truth and Reconciliation will be held in 2023. Any updated info will be shared.

Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters

Date	Day	Time	Room	Location
September 30, 2019	Monday	12:00 AM - 11:59 PM

 

Honouring families and communities impacted by the residential school system

On September 30, ���Ҵ�ý will observe Orange Shirt Day. We encourage everyone to wear an orange shirt in the spirit of reconciliation and to show their support of families and communities impacted by the residential school system. 

 

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, B.C., in the spring of 2013. It grew out of  of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. 

The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It also gives teachers time to plan events that will include children, as we want to ensure that we are passing the story and learning on to the next generations.

Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools, and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
