About

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and the Town of Caledon invites residents to honour the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities This National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, explore the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and stories of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples by joining us for a Film Screening at Caledon East Community Complex.

Residents and members of the public are invited to join us for a free film screening on September 30th to view the documentary Call Me Human (Kim O’Bomsawin, 2020) at 6:30pm at the Caledon East Community Complex in the Banquet Hall. The film will have English subtitles.

When elders leave us, a link to the past vanishes along with them. Innu writer Joséphine Bacon exemplifies a generation that is bearing witness to a time that will soon have passed away. With charm and diplomacy, she leads a charge against the loss of a language, a culture, and its traditions. On the trail of Papakassik, the master of the caribou, Call Me Human proposes a foray into a people's multi-millennial history in company with a woman of great spirit who has devoted her life to passing on her knowledge and that of her ancestors.
