Community notes for Orange Shirt Day

Submitted

91X is proud to join radio stations across the country for A Day To Listen.

Listen to host William Prince throughout the day. The theme this year is “The Path Here, The Path Ahead.” This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Final Report and 94 Calls To Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

We will have a variety of indigenous artists highlighted as apart of our programming today.

Community Notes:

*The Tyendinaga Native Women’s Association will be hosting their 5th Every Child Matter Walk. The walk will start at 10 a.m. this morning at the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte Administration building and end up at the Mohawk Community Centre. All are welcome.

 

*Loyalist College in Belleville is hosting the following activities for students.

* Tuesday Sept. 30 (9 a.m.) – A’nó:wara Learning Circle – we will host a tobacco burning (pending fire restrictions) followed by drumming and a round dance with Elder Helene Neveau.
*  Wednesday Oct. 1 (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) – A’nó:wara Learning Circle – Elder Helene Neveau will lead an open drumming session for anyone wishing to learn.
*  Friday Oct. 3 (9 a.m.) – A’nó:wara Learning Circle – the closing fire for the week where we hope everyone will share their bracelets created throughout the week as a collective expression of intention toward reconciliation.
*  Friday Oct. 3 (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) – Tsi- Titewayata’rό:roks Indigenous Centre – we will host a language bingo. It will be a fun and interactive way to learn basic Kanyen’kéha (Mohawk) words with prizes.

*Belleville will close municipal offices today. The community is invited to attend a ceremony at 11 a.m. at Market Square.

*Prince Edward County will close municipal offices today and Picton and Wellington arenas. Staff are highlighting three things in their message.

  • A Path Forward, a permanent and evolving exhibit co-curated by The County Museums and Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na and recognized as a Legacy Space by the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, is one example of reconciliation work happening here in Prince Edward County. Through Indigenous art, history, and story, the exhibit invites year-round engagement with these essential conversations. A Path Forward is located at Macaulay Heritage Park in Picton and is open Wednesday through Sunday; 1 pm – 4pm from September to May and 10 am – 4 pm May through August.
  • The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, CBC/Radio-Canada and the Algonquin Nation have united to produce a 90-minute multilingual commemorative gathering entitled Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The live national broadcast will begin at 3 pm on September 30. A YouTube link will be provided the day of the event.
  • Learn about Orange Shirt Day here.

*Quinte West will also close municipal offices today. The community is invited to the Trenton Library at 11 a.m. for a free screening of the film, “Indian Horse.”

 

Today is not a provincial holiday in Quebec and Ontario like the rest of the county. September 30th is marked in both provinces similar to Remembrance Day.
