For the first time the City of Kamloops and Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc are cohosting activities for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 27th. September 30th is a day for reflection, remembrance, and healing for our Indigenous hosts; therefore, we are providing activities, education, food and vending on a mutually agreed upon day so we can walk the reconciliation pathway together.

Activities will include options for residential school tours, cultural learning activities, workshops about intergenerational trauma and healing, and we invite you to visit the educational (and fun) booths and enjoy some delicious food. Lastly, there will be an Orange Shirt Day Walk throughout the grounds, covering what is known in the community as the Moccasin Mile route, a route used annually for a community event that takes participants through the mile-long walk around Tk̓emlúps lands surrounding the school, offices, and arbour.
