The 2024 stop brought in approximately 1,100 pounds of food and $2,700.00 in monetary donations, gratefully collected thanks to the generosity of all those who attended, and of course, CPKC’s very gracious cheque presentation of $4,000.00.

RCHS Land Acknowledgment

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg Nation, which was never ceded or legally signed away to the Crown or to Canada.

I invite all of us to reflect on the territories in which we have the privilege to live, work and play on and commit ourselves to gaining knowledge, forging a new, culturally safe relationship, and contributing to reconciliation. We recognize that First Nations, Métis, and Inuit are traditional cultures of knowledge sharing and we understand we have a lot to learn. Learning is the spirit in which we come together.
