Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw School

1 day ago

Yesterday, we gathered as a school and community to honour our residential school survivors, their families, and the children who never returned home.

Our students have been spending time over the past couple of weeks learning about residential schools and Truth and Reconciliation in age-appropriate ways. This learning, however, is not something that happens at our school on just one day or during one week. These conversations and teachings continue throughout the school year as our students learn about their history, culture, families, and community.

We are especially grateful to the Survivors and Elders who share their experiences and stories with our students. Their voices and teachings make this learning meaningful and help our students understand the history of their own families and community.

G̱ilakas'la to everyone who joined us for our assembly and community walk, and to our students and staff for showing such respect throughout the day.
