September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada
Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we turn to the arts as a way of listening, remembering, and carrying stories forward. Creativity has always been a vessel for truth—whether through song, beadwork, painting, or performance—allowing memory and resilience to live on in forms that can be shared across generations.
In honoring Survivors, their families, and the children who never came home, may we create spaces where stories can breathe and be held with care. Art is not an answer, but it is a path toward understanding, empathy, and connection.
Every canvas, every drumbeat, every word spoken carries the possibility of reconciliation—if we choose to listen.
