Aujourd'hui, nous honorons la journรฉe des traitรฉs. Un moment pour se souvenir des ententes sacrรฉes conclues entre nos Nations et la Couronne. Ces traitรฉs n'รฉtaient pas seulement des documents, mais des promesses de paix, d'amitรฉ et de respect mutuel, destinรฉes a durer aussi longtemps que le soleil brillera, que l'herbe poussera et que les riviรจres couleront.

La journรฉe des traitรฉs nous rappelle ร  la fois la force de nos ancรชtres et la responsabilitรฉ que nous portons d'honorer ces droits pour les gรฉnรฉrations futures. C'est une journรฉe de rรฉflexion, d'รฉducation et de cรฉlรฉbration de la rรฉsilience de notre peuple.

Au Centre Walgwan, nous reconnaissons l'importances des traitรฉs et nous rรฉaffirmons notre engagement envers un avenir fondรฉ sur le respect, la comprรฉhension et l'honneur de l'esprit et de l'intention de ces ententes.

Educators At Walgwan Nous nous souvenons. Nous honorons, Nus Poursuivons le chemin.

Today we honour Treaty Day. A time to remember the sacred agreements made between our Nations and the Crown. These treaties were not just documents, but promises of peace, friendship, and mutual respect meant to last a long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow.
Treaty day reminds us of both the strength of our ancestors and the responsibility we carry to uphold these rights for future generations. It is a day to reflect, to educate, and to celebrate the resilience of our people.
At Walgwan, we stand in recognition of the treaties, and in commitment to the vision of a future built on respect, understanding, and honouring the spirit and intent of these agreements.
Educators At Walgwan We remember. We honour. We carry forward.

Hier, nous faisons une pause pour honorer les enfants qui ne sont jamais rentrรฉs chez eux, les survivants des pensionnats et les familles et Nations qui portent encore cette vรฉritรฉ.

Au Centre Walgwan, nous reconnaissons que la guรฉrison est un cheminement de toute une vie. La vรฉritรฉ et la reconciliation ne consistent pas seulement ร  se souvenir, mais aussi ร  agir pour que chaque enfant grandisse en sรฉcuritรฉ, รชtre aimรฉ, et connectรฉ ร  sa culture, sa langue et son identitรฉ.

Nous invitons les communautรฉs ร  รฉcouter, ร  apprendre et ร  bรขtir un avenir oรน les mots chaque enfant compte sont vรฉcus chaque jour.
Nous honorons les survivants. Nous honorons les enfants. Nous honorons la vรฉritรฉ. Educators At Walgwan

Yesterday, we paused to honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, and the families and Nations who continue to carry this truth.

At Walgwan, we recognize that healing is lifelong journey. Truth and reconciliation are not only about remembering but about taking action to ensure that every child grows up safe, loved and connected to their culture, language, and identity.
We invite communities to listen, to learn, and to build a future where the words every child matters are lived every single day.
We honour the survivors. We honour the children. We honour the truth. Educators At Walgwan
