Description

Orange Shirt Day Walking Tours

When: Tuesday, Sept. 30 | 11 am & 1 pm
Cost: Free (Registration recommended)
Audience: All ages

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation offers us the opportunity to confront and reflect on the colonial history of Fort Calgary where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. This one-hour walking tour will discuss The Confluence’s ongoing work to decolonize the stories we tell and share insights on what we have learned about reconciliation so far. As this tour is led by a settler, the walk offers an interactive and reflective opportunity for other settlers and non-Indigenous peoples to contemplate their own personal journeys in reconciliation.

Walks take place rain or shine, so please ensure you come dressed for the weather.
