On September 27th, F.W. Gilbert held their Truth and Reconciliation Day. Students, staff and parents were encouraged to wear orange in honour of the children who attended residential schools. Elder Mabel Bignell, her son Quintin, daughter-in-law Jessica and their family lead the school on a reflective walk. Following the walk, the students participated in a variety of activities focused on indigenous culture, community, and the history behind “orange shirt day”.
