To recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Root for Trees encourages citizens to reflect on Residential schools and their lasting impacts to generations of people.
Root for Trees will be giving away trees, shrubs and wildflowers as a way to honour the victims, families, friends, and intergenerational survivors. Edmontonians are invited to pick-up a plant, speak with an Elder and engage in other indigenous led activities. We encourage fellow Edmontonians to do the same and join us, the Indigenous Relations Office and the Orange Shirt Day Walk/Run for this event.
