Our office will be closed on September 30 in recognition of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day. This is an important day to reflect and commemorate the legacy of residential schools. We encourage everyone to take time to learn, to honour survivors, their families, and communities. We also invite you to join us in making a financial contribution to support these organizations and their work.
