Tomorrow, as part of The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, many will wear orange to honour the countless children and communities impacted by the residential school system. Surrounding our logo in orange is a way to have Renison "wear" orange.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples' Day. We celebrate Indigenous community members.
Let's reflect on the ways we participate in reconciliation—from taking part in the Moose Hide Campaign Day, to walking alongside our UW community for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Earlier this year, Renison lost a dear friend and colleague, Dr. Darrol Bryant.
For the rest of June, a generous donor has agreed to match donations in honour of Darrol Bryant up to $2000. Each gift not only memorializes Darrol but continues to support his life’s work.
