Books are powerful tools for education and empathy—and reading is one way we can deepen our understanding of the lasting legacy of residential schools and the strength of Indigenous cultures.

With open minds and hearts, let us continue to reflect, listen and learn.
Today, we honour the survivors of residential schools, their families and the communities impacted by this painful chapter in Canadian history. We stand with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and we remain committed to the ongoing work of truth-telling and meaningful reconciliation.
Your brain doesn’t just like people, it needs them. Discover how hanging out, even in small doses, keeps your brain sharp and happy. 🧠
