Today, we honour Residential School Survivors, their families, and the children who never returned home. It is a day to reflect, listen, and acknowledge the past and ongoing impacts of residential schools across Canada.

The Thompson Okanagan region is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Syilx Okanagan, Secwépemc, and Nlaka’pamux Nations. Indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions have shaped this land since time immemorial and continue to enrich our communities today.

4 Ways to Support & Reflect Today:

Wear Orange: Show solidarity and honour survivors on .

Be a Respectful Traveller: Honour the land, waters, and cultural protocols of the places you visit.

Educate Yourself: Read Indigenous literature, listen to storytelling, and attend local or online learning events.

Support: Donate to survivor support networks and visit or shop at Indigenous-owned businesses and organizations.
