Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we wanted to connect more deeply with the place we now call home. We hiked the trails around Lake Helen Mackenzie and Battleship Lake, which rest on the traditional lands of the Kwakwaka’wakw Peoples, including the Wei Wai K*m First Nation, within the Comox Valley region of Strathcona Provincial Park. 🧡
We honour the children who never came home, the Survivors, and the families impacted by residential schools. Every step on this land is a reminder of the deep history and resilience of Indigenous Peoples. 🧡
