Cranbrook Public Library
The Cranbrook Public Library will be closed this Saturday, September 30, to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as 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.
ʔaq’am Community’s Truth and Reconciliation Day activities are taking place on Saturday, September 30 at the Dan Joe Memorial Gym in Cranbrook.
The day’s events begin with a Truth & Reconciliation Walk at 10 a.m. beginning at 7500 B Mission Road. There will be a Grand Entry at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., as well as a feast at 5:30 p.m.
