On Friday, September 30 we will host an in-person film screening and facilitated discussion circle about decolonization, reconciliation, and our faith.
The Cityview community is encouraged to spend Reconciliation Week listening and learning. You are encouraged to prepare for Reconciliation Week by :
getting your hands on an orange shirt,
self-educating (Orange Shirt Day, National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation)
and praying (www.sanctuarymentalhealth.org/race-mental-health-and-faith-resources/).
