June 21 marks National Indigenous People’s Day.
❤️🖤🤍💛
Today I took some time for reflection under the Red Embers art installation at Ashbridge’s Bay.
Red Embers pays tribute to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
The installation was erected last year, created by 15 Indigenous female-identifying artists.
The 13 banners of Red Embers symbolize the 13 Grandmother Moons within the Lunar System.
In Indigenous tradition Grandmother Moon governs women and heals those who have suffered sexual assault or domestic violence.

Latest byline:

Today marks one year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
March 11 will now always be recognized as the day the world changed.

But through the darkness, educators have provided a shining light by creating safe and engaging spaces (both virtual and in person) for our children to continue to learn and thrive.

Thank your teachers and childcare providers.

Something positive I didn't expect to come out of this pandemic was some long-overdue recognition for childcare providers and teachers.
