Truth and Reconciliation
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in 2008 to document the history and impacts of the Canadian Indian residential school system on indigenous students and their families. Its final report was issued in 2015. In light of the recent revelations of gravesites identified on the grounds of former Indigenous Residential Schools, this is a good time to have a closer look at the Calls to Action (part of the larger report) that were put forward at that time.

About the season: Easter
When:The Easter season lasts for 50 days following Easter (PLUS the 7 Sundays during this period), and ends on Pentecost, the "birthday" of the Christian Church (this year on May 19, 2024).
Meaning: Although not certain, "Easter" may originally derive from the Anglo-Saxon word for "spring" (Eostre), which of course is the time of year when Easter occurs.
Colour: WHITE or GOLD
Event: a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and a reminder that death does not have the final word. It is a time of renewal as we celebrate God's ongoing work in the world through his people.
