Timmins Turns Orange in Hono...
Timmins Turns Orange in Honour of Truth and Reconciliation (1)
The City of Timmins is committed to the process of truth, healing and reconciliation. This month, our annual Orange the City campaign will shine bright in honor of the children lost and for the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. The initiative was started by the City’s Indigenous Advisory Committee, to raise awareness on the impact of the residential school system.
A Timmins Transit bus and the McIntyre Headframe will display the City’s Every Child Matters logo. Both Timmins signs in downtown Timmins and at the Timmins Museum: National Exhibition Centre will be illuminated in orange throughout the month. Mayor Boileau will also join the Timmins Native Friendship Centre on September 18 at City Hall to proclaim September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Timmins.
On September 30, consider wearing an orange shirt’ purchased from a local Indigenous store or organization. Share the story of “Orange Shirt Day” and take time to reflect on your own role in reconciliation.
