Lethbridge marks the start of Reconciliation Week

The City of Lethbridge has marked the start of Reconciliation Week on Monday and will host events that celebrate Indigenous culture and reflect as a community.

The City’s Indigenous Relations Specialist says since Lethbridge has taken initiative to bring in a call to action in recognizing reconciliation, they have served as an example for other municipalities.

This year, the city will introduce a new Indigenous Music Festival this coming weekend ahead of National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. The City is also putting together an Indigenous Colouring and Activity Book where selected submissions will receive a 100-dollar honorarium.

Other organizations including the Lethbridge Public Library and Galt Museum will host their own events which can be found online.
