The Fairview Community Development team, recently had the privilege of hosting a meaningful and engaging presentation on Truth and Reconciliation with our daytime LINC students.

The event was a wonderful blend of education, interaction, and creativity, aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of this important topic.

To kick off the event, we organized an interactive quiz that tested our students’ knowledge about Truth and Reconciliation. The quiz was not only educational but also a lot of fun, with students eagerly participating and competing for exciting prizes.

One of the highlights of the day was the art session where students created their own orange t-shirts, feathers, and small hands. These art pieces symbolize the commitment to remembering and honoring the survivors of residential schools and the children who never returned home. The creativity and thoughtfulness displayed by our students were truly inspiring.

Throughout the presentation, we emphasized the importance of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. We discussed the history and impact of residential schools, and the ongoing journey towards healing and understanding. Our students engaged in thoughtful discussions, reflecting on the significance of this day and how we can all contribute to reconciliation. We are incredibly proud of our students for their enthusiasm and participation. This event was a step towards building a more inclusive and respectful community, and we look forward to continuing this important conversation.

Thank you to everyone who made this day possible, and to our students for their dedication to learning and growing together.
