September 30th is a day to stop, reflect, and confront the painful legacy of residential schools across Canada. Wearing orange honours the survivors, the children who never came home, and the generations deeply affected by systemic harm.

Truth must come before reconciliation.
Commit to listening to Indigenous voices, learn the history of the land you're on, and turn awareness into lasting action. Take time today to read the 94 Calls to Action, amplify Indigenous voices, and support local Indigenous-led organizations in your community. Reconciliation lives in our daily choices.

We at Laketown Ranch acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional territory of Ts’uuubaa-asatx, the First Peoples of the Cowichan Lake area. We thank Ts’uubaa-asatx for allowing us to continue to live, operate, and recreate on these beautiful lands.
