National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

HVH recognizes that September 30th, 2024, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Please join us throughout the week of September 23rd- 27th in wearing orange as an act of solidarity, awareness, and remembrance. HVH will be raising a flag on September 27th in recognition.


What is Orange Shirt Day?


Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative that honours the children and survivors of residential schools and remembers those who did not. The day relates to the

experience of Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwepemc (Shuswap) from the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation, on her first day of school, where she arrived dressed in a new orange shirt, which was taken from her. It is now a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

Mealtimes at HVH At our last Resident Council meeting, it was discussed and primarily opted for, flipping our bigger meal from noon to supper time. With providing a very large breakfast, followed by the large main meal for lunch, many residents are too full to consume that meal (which contains most of their daily calories and protein). Due to this, many are quite hungry by supper time when the lighter meal is served. With residents’ input, we are looking at moving our largest meal to supper time.  Benefits of this include: Improved satiety throughout the evening Less hypoglycemia with morning blood sugars Increased likelihood of consuming the large, main meal The ability to sleep in & have a late breakfast, without compromising intake of the larger meal Stay tuned for results of our residents’ votes! ~ Food Services Team
