National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

Learn about this unique art form from artist Michelle Wiebe, its role in the residential school system, and create a custom themed postcard as a token of truth and reconciliation.

DATE: September 30, 2025

TIME: 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM

The day will begin with a flag raising and moment of silence, followed by reflections from local First Nation Elders and Métis Knowledge Keepers. Guests are invited to engage in reconciliation-focused art and music activities, spend time in the tipi, observe traditional hide tanning, and experience cultural demonstrations shared by local Indigenous community members.

Join us and the Town of Cochrane to create a space for reflection, learning, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
