“Canada Day” is on the horizon. With the uncovering of the remains of 215 Indigenous children at the Kamloops residential school, and with many more being found across Canada, there has been an invigorated discussion about Canada Day, what it represents, and in what capacity can it be honourably observed.

POV: White settler Educator located on the traditional territory of the T'Sou-ke Nation known colonially as Sooke, British Columbia.
Hello Educators!
Although I’ve been a teacher for over 15 years, it is only truly in the last two school years that I have paid close attention to bringing anti-racism into the classroom.

Am I Black enough?
You don't look Black
