September 30th is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Today is an opportunity to reflect on the intergenerational trauma caused by residential schools. Destination: Deerfoot City would like to recognize that we are situated on traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy including the Siksika, Piikani and Kainai Nations; the Iethka Stoney-Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Good Stoney Nations; and the Tsuut'ina Nation. Calgary is also home to the historic Northwest Métis , Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Métis Battle River Territory, Nose Hill Métis District 5, and Elbow Métis District 6. 🪶
During this day of reflection, we honour the survivors, families, and communities deeply impacted by residential schools.
