Dear Members & Friends of the Chamber
This week many of our members and staff, including at the High Commission of Canada in the UK, marked National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day - the day honours children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. ‘The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations’ -to learn more go to: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-reconciliation.html
