National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity to reflect, educate, and take action to honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Here are some ways to show your support on September 30:

Attend Semiahmoo First Nation’s 4th Annual Walk for Truth and Reconciliation

Date: Monday, September 30, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm 

Location: Walk begins at Grand Chief Bernard Robert Charles Memorial Plaza on White Rock’s East Beach. Parking is FREE in the Semiahmoo First Nation parking lot (approximately Marine Drive and Kent Street)

Details: This FREE community event includes a walk followed by activities and performances, including keynote speaker Grand Chief Steven Point, musical performances by renowned Indigenous artists, an Indigenous artist market, and various exhibitions. A complimentary lunch will be served to all attendees, ensuring that everyone can partake in the communal spirit of the event.

Wear Orange in Solidarity

The orange shirt is a symbol of the harm caused by the residential school system and the resilience of survivors. Wearing orange on September 30th is a symbol of solidarity with Indigenous communities and helps raise awareness of their stories. Read the story of Orange Shirt Day by visiting the Orange Shirt Society.

How Surrey Hospitals Foundation Supports Indigenous Health

Surrey Hospitals Foundation supports initiatives that seek to ensure that Indigenous peoples feel seen, valued, and supported in our hospitals. These initiatives are a testament to our commitment to reconciliation and healing. Examples of these initiatives include:

Funding an Indigenous Maternal Child Liaison

The Foundation is proud to have funded the role of an Indigenous Maternal Child Liaison at Surrey Memorial Hospital—the first of its kind in the province. Working inside the Family Birthing Unit, the role engages with Indigenous life-givers and healthcare staff to improve patient experiences with healthcare; build trust in the health care system; and care for Indigenous life-givers’ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. 

Indigenous Artwork in Palliative Care Unit

Indigenous artwork of owl, bear, and wolf inside palliative care unit

The Foundation supported the installation of Indigenous artwork inside Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Palliative Care Unit. In the artwork, the owl represents guidance, helping patients transition to the next chapter of their journey and reminding them that they are not alone; the wolf and the bear represent rebirth and unity with the earth, offering a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life.
