This past July, the Government of Canada committed to creating a statutory holiday that honours reconciliation and ensuring that the tragic history and ongoing legacy of Residential Schools is never forgotten. 

The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30th opens the door to global conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind.  A discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation.  A day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected.  Every Child Matters, even if they are an adult, from now on.

GEA welcomes you to the 2021 Edmonton Municipal Election Mayoral Candidate Forum.  At this forum we will be talking to the mayoral candidates about the issues surrounding Workplace Mental Health, Living Wage & Quality Jobs and Truth and Reconciliation.
