MCSW Joins Reconciliation Run

Reconciliation Run is a half marathon event, rooted in the teaching of movement as medicine, that promotes intergenerational healing, reflection and learning.  As the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches, MCSW encourages members to take some time to walk, run or take a quiet moment in their own way to reflect on the historical and ongoing impacts of the Residential School System.

In honour of residential school survivors and all those who did not make it home, MCSW Executive Director, Barbara Temmerman, will participate in the 2nd annual Reconciliation Run, beginning at the ruins of the former Residential School in Birtle, Manitoba and concluding at Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation.

Throughout the month of September, join Barb on a 5K reflection run beginning at the Pavilion side of the Assiniboine Park footbridge at 5 p.m. on September 13, 18, 25 or 26, 2023.  Run, walk, bike or take a moment to sit in the park and reflect.  All are welcome.

The reflection run is an informal, voluntary event. Physical activity involves certain risks. Please ensure you are able to participate safely. MCSW does not assume any risk or liability in the event of injury or illness.

Members are also invited to register online for the official Reconciliation Run.
