The Ingersoll and Area Indigenous Solidarity and Awareness Network will march from the Ingersoll Cheese Museum Pavilion to Downtown starting at 6:30 p.m.
INGERSOLL - The Ingersoll and Area Indigenous Solidarity and Awareness Network is hosting a march for truth and reconciliation tomorrow in Ingersoll.
They will be marching from the Ingersoll Cheese Museum Pavilion to Downtown at 6:30 pm. One of the organizers Patricia Marshal says they will have a special message when they reach downtown.
"We are going to be having a message from Al Day at that point and then we are going to march back to the Cheese Museum Pavilion and we have our tables, both information and donation vendors set up, so people can participate and learn more about what Truth and Reconciliation really means."
The event will have several guest speakers that focus on three key issues. Missing and murdered indigenous women, girls and 2 spirit people, unsafe drinking water in indigenous communities and lives lost or altered by the Canadian residential school system.
Marshal says it is a great event to bring the kids and teach them about truth and reconciliation.
"All ages are welcome, honestly sometimes when you are a child and you grow up and learn this information first hand, it sinks deeper, I would recommend children to come out, to learn, participate and be a part of it."
Everyone is welcome to join them at the March, or just come back for the event at the pavilion.
Special Guests include:
- Metis Elder Suzanne Jackson
- Warrior Womyn of Positive Drum
- N'Amerind (London) Friendship Centre - Al Day
- Spirit Earth Holistics Inc.
- Dancer Niki Shawana
- Campaign for Nesktantga First Nations
- And also a video message from Shayna Taypotat A Walk To Healing For All and more
