National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - how to make it meaningful.
from Walking Alongside: Perspectives · host Charissa McKay
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here!So it's another long weekend...how long before that's how people are going to view the September 30 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation? I don't know why we have Victoria Day...Labour Day - I vaguely understand, but that is so long ago, that I feel I have never viewed it as anything other than the last long weekend of summer. Remembrance Day is different - we have an obligation to remember and to never forget. Though tell that to Putin...But this inaugural (as a statutory holiday) September 30, I think needs to be more meaningful, and it's up to us to find ways to put it on the agendas of businesses, governments and any organization that purports to want to be doing something for the environment and the planet. The knowledge, or wisdom, is there, largely untapped because of arrogance. Hope you listen and maybe feel a wee bit uncomfortable. Because of course, this is just my perspective. Listen wherever you get your podcasts - you can find us on Podcast Addict, Podchaser, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Player FM, Tune-In and of course Spotify, Google Player and Apple Podcasts - where if you can leave a comment or throw me some ideas of topics you'd like to hear about, that would be great. Walking The Walk is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
