Today is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to reflect on the ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and Canada’s painful history with Indigenous communities. Today is also a day to remember and honour the children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities as we work towards reconciliation.
In order to recognize this day properly, we will not be posting any new content on our social media and digital channels. We encourage you to join us in using this day for meaningful reflection and learning to better understand the challenges faced by Indigenous people historically and today.
ScreenShare: the Canadian Academy’s Virtual Screen Club.
Each session, we gathering small groups of individuals to discuss a classic Canadian film, television show or web series, starting off with our 2020 Canadian Screen Award nominees. These small discussions offer members the opportunity to discuss their reactions, thoughts and feelings about the work while engaging with our community face-to-face – albeit virtually!
