At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
The Cranbrook Public Library will be closed this Monday, 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 & Reconciliation Day activities are taking place on Monday September 30 at the St. Eugene Mission. The full schedule of activities can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/yuauhfpx
These events are free and open to the public.
