Dear St John Paul II Families,
On Thurs Sept 30th SJPII will be recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a day of reflection. In addition to observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we will continue to participate in Orange Shirt Day, as a way to honour residential school survivors, those who did not survive, and their descendants. We invite students to wear orange, whether it is a shirt, pin, ribbon, bracelet, socks, etc., and engage in meaningful conversation as a way to come together and recognize past transgressions towards Indigenous people.
