There are lots of opportunities tomorrow to listen, learn, reflect and participate together as a family.
As we have been learning about Truth and Reconciliation here at daycare over the past couple of weeks, I wanted to share some local opportunities for families who would like to continue those conversations and learning experiences with their children. 🧡
