MORNING PRAYER
September 30th is an important day for Canadians. It has been called
Orange Shirt Day, named for the story of a young First Nation’s girl who had
her newly purchased orange shirt taken from her upon her arrival at St. Joseph
Mission residential school. The day is recognized as an opportunity to reflect
and to educate Canadians on the experiences of First Nations peoples who had
their culture, language and spirituality taken from them in the residential
school system.
O God,
We praise you for your gifts that surround us.
Open
our eyes to the injustices
brought against First Nation Peoples in Canada’s
Residential Schools.
Give us determined hearts
to refuse to standby when the dignity of your children is denied.
Help us all to work to make our world a better place.
We make this prayer in the name of Jesus.

LET’S TALK CAREERS COMPETITION
ChatterHigh, Skills Canada and Let’s Talk Science have joined together to provide an opportunity for students to virtually explore a wide array of occupations and post-secondary programs of study with the fourth annual Let’s Talk Careers: Canada’s Most Informed School Competition. This career exploration opportunity also includes two national competitions (Fall 2020: October 26 to December 4 and Spring 2021: April 12 to May 21).

These quizzes encourage them to research and explore thousands of higher education and career options that they may not have been exposed to any other way. The schools with the highest ranking at the end of each round will win a cash prize, and the students who answered the most questions right in the time period will also win personal cash bursaries!
