While acknowledging the recent serious issues this city is facing, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate @OttawaMarch's @Ebrahim_sadaf on being recognized for her community leadership. Sadaf is the first Pakistani in Ottawa to be a recipient of the well-deserved Order of Ottawa

Congratulations to Canada's new Governor General, Mary Simon, on her appointment!
With a lifelong track record of activism & personal experience as an Inuk woman, it's clear she'll bring a fresh voice & needed perspective - truly a "historic and inspirational moment for Canada."
“I can confidently say that my appointment is an historic and inspirational moment for Canada, and an important step forward on the long path towards reconciliation.”
Mary Simon shares remarks in English and Inuktitut during this morning’s Governor General announcement.

CW: violence against children, genocide & residential "schools."
We were honoured to attend today's sunrise ceremony in honour of the lives of Indigenous children lost to residential "schools."
The news from the past few weeks is heartbreaking, but not surprising.

Take the time to educate yourselves. Listen to and learn from Indigenous communities.
We hope that thousands of families will finally get the heartbreaking closure that they deserve to mourn the lives of the children that never came home.

Thank you to all Members who votes yes. Hope the PM does too! Too bad about @Min_IndServ and @Carolyn_Bennett abstaining- they should be championing this motion.
