Wetaskiwin Community Walks Together on Orange Shirt Day

On September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, members of Immanuel Anglican Church along with their partners Wetaskiwin District Heritage Museum Centre & Star Store, City of Wetaskiwin, Wetaskiwin FCSS, and the community gathered to walk through downtown to the Peace Cairn. Elder Ivy Rain and the Rev. Hugh Matheson, rector, offered prayers. We then moved on to Jubilee Park to remember we are all Treaty People. There we were blessed with the prayers of dancers and speakers, as well as lovingly made Bannock. Reconciliation begins when truth is spoken and heard and when friendships are made and renewed. Thank you to all the photographers who kindly shared with us their photos. Posted on FB by Fiona Brownlee
