We will have lunch together (pay for your own) before attending the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event called “Every Child Matters” put together by Connections Community Services at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate, Richmond) with guest speaker: Beatrice Silver, Residential School Survivor.

This event allows us to understand and commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system. We will honour the resilience, dignity and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors and remember the children who never came home. It’s a chance to engage and educate us, the newcomers from Hong Kong, about the BC and Canadian colonial history and how it has and continues to impact Indigenous communities.

The event will commence at 1pm. The plan is to have lunch at Wo Fung Noodle House (車仔麵) from 11:30am to 12:30pm, and then walk ourselves to Richmond Cultural Centre.

It would be a great idea to wear something orange, if you have.

Note that MP Chak Au has confirmed attendance. Connections has also sent invitations to the BC Premier and cabinet ministers, as well as the Mayor and Councillors of Richmond, and they are awaiting their responses. There will be photographers taking pictures and filming during the event. If you do not want to be filmed or photographed, please let us know when we meet on that day.
