All are welcome to take part in Salmon Arm events recognizing National Truth and Reconciliation Day.

The Thursday, Sept. 30 events will start at 1 p.m. at the Marine Peace Park wharf.

Organizer Lyndsey Leon said this gathering will provide an opportunity to reflect on the truth of residential schools. It begins at 1 p.m., with light snacks and beverages available.

“I would love to have support from everyone by wearing orange shirts if possible,” said Leon.

From the wharf, Leon said event attendees will make their way to the Salmon Arm Arts Centre at 2 p.m. where there will be a ceremony with a drumming circle.
