Last year I helped to carry the Memorial Cloth — a sacred 60-meter-long red banner that bears the verified names of thousands of Indigenous children who died in Canada's residential school system.

I deeply believe that Every Child Matters, and yet I struggle to find daily connections to that belief – how do I live this out every day? It’s one thing to wear an orange shirt on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation but another to choose to get uncomfortable with the truths that led to this commemoration.

So, I thought I’d make a short list of things you might consider engaging with as acts of reconciliation beyond Sept. 30.
