National Truth and Reconciliation Day
September 27, 2024
Today in Artemis Gold offices and on Monday at Blackwater Mine, our employees wear orange to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
As part of Artemis Gold’s reconciliation efforts and to honour the children who never returned home as well as the survivors of residential schools, their families and communities, we have organized company-wide efforts to observe, learn and participate in the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
In addition to our internal initiatives, we are supporting Truth and Reconciliation events hosted by the Indigenous communities near the Blackwater Mine.
We acknowledge the people who were on this land long before us and whose deep and intrinsic connection to this land gives us much to learn from. As a Canadian company, we take time to reflect and to renew our commitment to learning what reconciliation means to those affected by residential schools so we can better understand their truth.
