Attention all Indigenous vendors, crafters, and artists

We would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in our market in honor of Truth and Reconciliation Day. This is a great opportunity to showcase your talent and contribute to an important cause. Let’s work together to promote understanding and healing.

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day that coincides with Orange Shirt Day. It recognizes the tragic legacy of residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. Leading up to September 30, our Hospital’s Indigenous Collaboration, Equity and Inclusion portfolio has organized various events to honour the survivors and recognize the importance of Truth and Reconciliation. By attending these events, staff can show their support and commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.

On September 25 and 26, there will be an Indigenous Craft and Food Vendor Market at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
