As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, we are excited to announce a meaningful initiative that reflects our commitment to honouring this important day. This year, we have collaborated with a local Indigenous artist to create a one-of-a-kind orange shirt, symbolizing our respect and recognition of the ongoing journey toward truth and reconciliation.
Any funds raised will go directly to our First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Health Services Scholarship, furthering our longtime commitment to collaborating with Indigenous communities and aiming to improve health care and services for Indigenous communities across Canada.
By purchasing the SE Orange Shirt, you are helping raise awareness of the intergenerational impacts of residential schools and support the SE Health First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program Health Services Scholarship.
About the Artist
We've partnered with Jessica Somers of Lavigne, Ontario. Jessica Somers was born in Sudbury Ontario and is of Abenakis and Metis decent. She is greatly influenced by her grandmother who enjoyed creating scenic and wildlife paintings. Her father’s passion for carpentry and his hard work ethics and determination are what attributed to her success as an artist today.
