🧡On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,

🧡On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the generations of families and communities affected. As a youth organization, we believe young people have an important role in reconciliation by learning the truth, challenging injustice, amplifying Indigenous voices, and building a future rooted in respect and understanding. Let’s keep the conversation going, today and every day. 🧡 #everychildmatters #OrangeShirtDay #NDTR

We recently held a STEM day and it was a huge success thanks to @budjettech who brought their first Lego League Kits for our youth to build and program their own robots. After lunch we then moved onto to several STEM activities including making slime, building a balloon race car, creating glue suncatchers and also learning how to code a maze with Lego pieces. #STEM #NextGenSTEM #FutureScientists
