Today, we pause for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, honouring the survivors of residential schools, the children that never came home, and their families and communities.

Today is also known as Orange Shirt Day, inspired by the story of residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad. Now, wearing an orange shirt has become a symbol of hope, reconciliation, and a commitment to a better future.

St. John Ambulance Kenora Branch was pleased to come out and support the participants in the 45th Annual Terry Fox Run.

After running 5,373 kilometres in 143 days, Terry Fox raised approximately 2 million dollars for Cancer Research. Sadly, he had to stop his Marathon of Hope here in Thunder Bay.

His legacy still continues on, and we here at St. John Ambulance are proud to be a part of that, whether it's cheering on racers, providing first aid services, or watching someone we know participate.
