🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Healing with Music

Pabineau First Nation invites you to come together in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Join us for a free afternoon of healing with music, community, and reflection.

This day is an important opportunity to pause, reflect, and recognize the truths of our shared history. Truth and Reconciliation is about more than remembrance—it’s about building open conversations, honouring survivors and their families, and creating pathways to healing. Music plays a powerful role in this process, offering comfort, connection, and a way to share stories that words alone cannot express.
