National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today, we honour the children who never made it home, the Survivors, and the families and communities who continue to carry this truth.
As a local pet community, we pause to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across Treaty 6 Territory.
We encourage our neighbours to take time today for reflection, conversation, and compassion — and to support Indigenous‑led organizations doing vital work in our city.
