Spirit Garden Opening
Date: September 30, 2024

The Indian Residential School Survivors (IRSS) Restoration of Identity Project on the southwest quadrant of Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto is an Indigenous cultural space that will honour residential school survivors and lost children. The project, led by the Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre, consists of a turtle sculpture representing Turtle Island and a teaching and healing space called the Spirit Garden. It aligns with the City of Toronto’s commitments to Indigenous Peoples and responds to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Call to Action 82. The Spirit Garden’s design features elements representing First Nations, Inuit, and Métis cultures, along with repairs to increase safety and security in the area.

Title: Truth before Reconciliation: Moving Forward in Peace, Friendship and Mutual Respect

In this month of learning about historical and contemporary relations between Indigenous Nations and the nation state of Canada, there are many painful truths that need to be unpacked. How can we learn together to unpack these truths and make these relationships more relevant – as individuals and as a society? How can we change how we listen and learn to move forward together with Peace, Friendship and Mutual Respect?

Join Dr. Ruth Green as she storytells about Treaty relations and responsibilities to the Lands and the people that have been caretakers of the territory known as Tkaronto since time immemorial.

Drop-in program. No registration required.

Monday, September 30 · 10am – 3pm EDT
