National Day of Healing and Reconciliation


Good Morning Grade 6,

Forgiveness in not always an easy thing to embrace but we  been given a strong role model in Jesus:  "Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do." 
Throughout history, humankind has suffered at the hands of their fellow neighbours over and over again. Forgiveness does not excuse the action but it allows the victims and those responsible to heal their hearts so they are able to live in the love of Christ. 

You will do some research on the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation  occurring May 26.  You will work in small groups to present your findings to the rest of the class. You must provide clear, well-thought out responses to the 5W's 
Japanese Canadians internment camp survivors- Tamara, Bailey, Savanna 
Residential School victims - Anthony, Drew, Jaime
Holocaust survivors - Brett, Jordan, Kianna
