Sept. 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.
As we near the third annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation remains dedicated to deepening our understanding of reconciliation and educating ourselves about the profound impact residential schools have had on Indigenous communities.
Our commitment to this process is unwavering, and it is reflected in our recently updated Strategic Planning efforts. Prioritizing the inclusion of Indigenous communities in our advocacy efforts for accessible healthcare will continue to be a key focus.
We want to thank our friends at the Tsawwassen First Nation for continuing to support healthcare in Delta through our Foundation’s special events.
Most recently, Chief Laura Cassidy and the Tsawwassen First Nation graciously hosted the inaugural Peak Products Supper at Sunset benefitting Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation, on their ancestral, traditional and unceded lands where they warmly greeted more than 200 guests. We appreciate this important partnership and look forward to deepening the relationship.
As we near Sept. 30, we invite everyone to embrace, learn, and reflect on the truth, and to join us on this meaningful journey towards reconciliation.
