Letter To Mayor of Brampton
Introduction could include why we are writing
IE: we discovered there was not enough events happening
Important not just to acknowledge T and R day on one day but everyday because it wasn't just one day of wrong doing to Indigenous groups
Rename a park to acknowledge a famous Indigenous person from the area
Feels like creating a holiday on September 30th that only benefits the government is breaking one of the 94 Calls To Action
It is his duty as a part of 94 Calls To Action
Mention there are calls to action about honouring Sept 30th as a Day of Mourning
Show to respect to residential schools
Honour survivors in person
Suggest having all day events for T and R day
Create a more permanent display: half mast flags, always fly the Every Child matters flag, create a memorial
Mandatory beyond schools for T and R to acknowledge.
Every ward has their own event
Talk about taking the land, residential schools
Only a few calls to action have been done and many more should be acknowledged
Europeans took the land and we need to respect how much pain they went trough
Some reserves don't have clean water or good envrironments to live in and this can bring knowledge to that
