OKN challenges Halton residents to commit to action on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
More opportunities than ever to learn about Indigenous perspectives

This September 30, on Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Our Kids Network (OKN) challenges all Halton residents to commit to learning more about Canada’s Residential Schools and honouring the journey of survivors and the memory of the children who never returned to their families. It’s time to do business differently!

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was established in 2021 by the federal government as a direct response to the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #80, which outlined the need for a commemorative day to honour Survivors, their families, and communities to ensure the legacy of the Residential Schools remains a vital component of the Reconciliation process. In Halton, OKN has been actively involved in developing and supporting several interactive events and programs that create opportunities for residents to engage with and learn about Indigenous culture and history.

Our Kids Network is excited to release its most recent bulletin related to data collected through the 2021 Halton Youth Impact Survey.

Young people in Halton have a lot to say about the community where they live – and when it comes to their own development and wellbeing, youth have a right to have their voices heard.
