On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Sept. 30, the Lethbridge Sport Council invites you to Legacy Park for Give It a Try – a free, family-friendly day of movement, play and connection.
This special event honours the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation by recognizing the role of sport in bringing people together, fostering understanding and strengthening community bonds.
Participants will have the opportunity to try out a variety of activities guided by local leaders and coaches, including:
- Lacrosse with coach Chad Chief Moon
- Roller hockey with Dave and Roller Hockey Lethbridge
- Fitness with Tyler Swag from Good Movement
- Skateboarding with Husky
- Free play with Shawn from Lethbridge Sport Council
All ages are welcome, and families are especially encouraged to take part together. A light lunch will be provided for all participants.
“Orange Shirt Day is a time to honour the children who never made it home and to stand in solidarity with survivors and their families. We encourage everyone to take this day as an opportunity to reflect with your own family, and the gift of being together,” says Echo Nowak from the City of Lethbridge.
This is not just a day of remembrance, Nowak adds, it’s a day for healing, learning and connection. “Bring your family, wear orange and join us in creating a future rooted in truth and respect.”
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information or to register visit online at bit.ly/3K3kzv7.
