National Truth and Reconciliation Day is important for Classic LifeCare and all Canadians. Today is an opportunity to show your interest, respect and pursuit of learning regarding indigenous people and the impacts of Residential schools.
We feel inspired, and we hope you do too, to take action and educate yourself about Residential schools and Indigenous cultures.
