Truth and Reconciliation Hummingbirds: Thank You BRENDA MORRISON Contributor
DOING WHAT WE CAN Visitors to the Eagle Gathering Stage on Monday printed hummingbird silk screens and read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action as some of the ways to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. / Brenda Morrison photo NEW LISTING
We came together to honour and acknowledge our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30. We heard the invitation of TRC Commissioner Justice Sinclair: “Pick one” of the 94 Calls to Action. One young person committed, with love, to Call to Action #22: We call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices and use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients in collaboration with Aboriginal healers and Elders where requested by Aboriginal patients. Together we committed to over 50 different Calls to Action and we raised over $1,000 for the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. To remember our commitment to reconciliation each and every day, we silk screened Dukdukdiya, the little hummingbird, to an orange flag. Dukdukdiya reminds us to “Do what we can”. Reminds us that reconciliation requires reconciliACTION that creates a ripple effect in our communities. We created a strong and heartfelt ripple on a sun kissed day. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

This is one of those Bowen homes that islanders have been dying to see inside since it was built! James Tuer-designed detached townhouse. Five years young – still under New Home Warranty. Off-street parking for two cars, with easy, level access into main floor living. Bright & airy, and crafted with an eye for care and detail. Above features two bedrooms & an office, and downstairs is a well-apportioned one-bedroom secondary suite with separate entrance, own laundry and its own patio space. Built Green Gold, non-strata, with radiant in-floor heat, two gas fireplaces, and thoughtful touches throughout. Great location – just outside of the hustle and bustle of Snug Cove, yet still within easy walking distance of the ferry, school, Crippen Park trails, medical centre, restaurants & shopping.
