In honour of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, Klinic will be closing its doors to take this day to reflect on the impacts of the Canadian residential school system.
Klinic is encouraging staff and volunteers to participate in activities and events in their communities that surround healing, reflecting, and honouring those who were impacted by residential schools.
Please know that if you seek support on this day, Klinic Crisis Lines will be available to take your call.
