Learning More Together

Jun 2, 2021

There is much for us to learn right now. Even though we feel like we are trying our best to learn and understand we know we can do better. Will we make mistakes, say the wrong thing, likely, but we are open to listening and learning. To honour all children of residential schools we are dedicated to learning more. Here are some resources we have used ourselves in our learning journey and others we hope to learn from.
