The second week of cultural events to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was underway at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. On Monday, staff had the opportunity to make hand drums, lead by Natalie Hache, Traditional Wellness Navigator, Anishnawbe Mushkiki. On Tuesday, staff came together to learn and connect through a Beading Lunch and Learn. Participants got to bead a beautiful orange shirt pin and had the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation.
Today, a Lunch and Learn was held to provide staff with the opportunity to learn from and engage with Residential School Survivor Peter Sackaney. Peter is a Survivor of St. Anne’s Residential School. Participants heard about Peter’s experience and gained a deeper understanding of the impact of Indian Residential Schools. Miigwetch Peter, for sharing your story with us!
