National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on September 30th provides a time to reflect on the experiences of residential school Survivors, honour their stories, and consider meaningful ways to support reconciliation. Beyond wearing orange, here are actions that can help strengthen understanding, build connections, and advance this important work.
For more than a century, thousands of Indigenous children were taken from their homes and placed in residential schools. This government policy had individual, family, and community intergenerational trauma impacts. At The City, we believe you can support Truth and Reconciliation every day.
Join us to commemorate Indian residential school victims, honour survivors and their families, and commit to acting on reconciliation. Remembering the Children.
Calgary saw higher-than-normal rainfall in July and August, leading to saturated turf and unusually thick grass growth across parks, playfields, and roadsides. This has extended mowing times and increased the number of mowing-related 311 requests. The Ward 9 office also received an increase in outreach from constituents concerned about long grass and delays in mowing neighbourhood parks and public spaces.
Calgarians now have a new way to slow down, recharge, and connect with nature. The City of Calgary Parks & Open Spaces has officially opened the Forest Bathing Trail at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary - the first of its kind in the city.
