“I run because I don't want to give up, I run because I am hopeful that there is a better future for us,” Natalie Paavola said.
THUNDER BAY – On Monday, it will be 11 years since the first Orange Shirt Day and four years since the formal recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.
Started in 2022, the run is a way to honour the Indigenous children taken to residential schools, and support the ongoing healing of survivors and their families. “The activities range from making bracelets for those that you are either running or walking for, or remembering on that day. It's important to have options for everyone.”“The 15 and 10k, you have 1st, 2nd, 3rd place for male and female and those places are sponsored,” she said.
