#OrangeShirtDay is an annual event to recognize the individualized experiences of residential school survivors and those who are no longer with us, its lasting generational impacts, and to commit to reconciliation. It is a somber realization that while much has changed, we still have so far to go. Some reports state that there have been more Indigenous children in the care of child welfare system than in the time of residential schools. Yesterday, news broke in BC of the deat...h of another Indigenous child while in the care of the government. We send out love to all those affected, you are of value and you do matter. #Fleming #CYC aims to adhere to the Indigenous Educational Protocols, be authentic in our administration of our Indigenous Perspectives Designation, advocate for the #regulation of both Child and Youth Care and residential care while always striving to learn more. Looking to find out just what regulation is? See https://oacyc.org//social-awareness-and-political-activism/ #regulateONCYCP We encourage everyone to use today to learn about oppression as well as Indigenous Ways of Being, broadening your understandings of the world. Then pledge to do something different to contribute to change, including re-distribution of power. #culturalhumility #antioppression #antiracism When you know better, you do better.

Cheers to our new dean for not hesitating to get involved! Many of our CYC faculty will be in attendance as dialogue conference participants and are looking forward to learning how to do better.
