Reconciliation should not be about an apology nor should it be like a holiday or a birthday when we have a ceremony once a year. Reconciliation should be like a river continuous and always making changes. Eddy Charlie of Quw’utsun
Thank you to our partners and community sponsors!
Without the support of our community, the Truth and Reconciliation Day Ride would not be possible.
