National Day for Truth & Reconciliation- September 30th

New Horizon Co-op will be observing September 30th, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, as a statutory holiday for our organization.⁠
⁠
We make this decision as a step forward in our commitment toward reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in our country. ⁠
⁠
⁠
While our locations will be open, we will operate on holiday hours in order for our Team to have the time to reflect and pause, and create a space where we can acknowledge the history of residential schools and the path forward to reconciliation. We encourage all our Team Members to observe this day in a way that will further their individual journey towards understanding Truth and Reconciliation, whether it be by attending a local event or taking time to further their knowledge with educational resources.
⁠
⁠
To further acknowledge this day, we have provided all Team Members with an orange shirt to wear, which have been sourced from an Indigenous business and designed by Indigenous artists. 
⁠
⁠
We respectfully acknowledge that New Horizon Co-op is situated on Treaty 8 territory, traditional lands of First Nations and Métis people.
