03. Special Episode - Orange Shirt Day: Understanding Reconciliation


Listen Later

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Ms. McAndrew joins Giuliana and Joseph as they unpack the deep truths behind reconciliation, the TRC's 94 Calls to Action and the responsibility of the Catholic Church.  This open and honest conversation looks at the difficult truth behind Canada's dark past and its role in the genocide of First Nation, Metis, and Inuit people.  


This episode uncovers the importance of Orange Shirt Day as a day of honouring the survivors of residential schools along with those children whose lives were taken, but also as a day that leads to many in the ongoing fight for Indigenous rights. 


Thank you for joining us in this rich discussion.
