Walk for Truth and Reconciliation
This morning, students and staff across Delta are participating in a Walk for Truth and Reconciliation.
Students from Delta Secondary School and six elementary schools in Ladner (Hawthorne, Holly, Ladner, Neilson Grove, Port Guichon and Sacred Heart) will be walking from Delta Secondary to Delta Manor Education Centre (DMEC). The walk will start at approximately 9:55am, with students expected to arrive at DMEC by 10:45a.m.
At 11a.m., a ceremony hosted by Nathan Wilson, Indigenous Cultural Mentor, will take place outside DMEC. It will include words of wisdom from knowledge keepers from local First Nations and from the UBC Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.
Schools in Tsawwassen and North Delta have organized walks in their own neighbourhoods and will watch the ceremony via livestream.
