CW: Residential schools, violence, trauma, cultural loss

At the Citadel Theatre, we believe in the transformative power of stories. Stories help us understand one another and the world around us. Treaty No. 6 was founded with the intent to foster harmonious coexistence, and we acknowledge our responsibility to be active participants in reconciliation on this land we all call home. We are committed to upholding the spirit and original intent of the Treaty, and together, we strive to create a shared narrative that honors our responsibility to this land and to each other's stories.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize Residential School Survivors, the families who were forcibly and violently separated, the children who never returned home, and all those in our community who continue to suffer from the enduring loss of culture, language, and connection after being separated from their stories.

We invite you to read Citadel Theatre’s Acknowledgement of Responsibility statement on our website: https://citadeltheatre.com/about-us/equity-diversity-and-inclusion/ and to reflect on the progress of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action: https://www.reconciliationeducation.ca/what-are-truth-and-reconciliation-commission-94-calls-to-action. Please join the staff of the Citadel Theatre, and teachers and students of the Foote Theatre School, by wearing orange in recognition of The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Please note: The Citadel Theatre (including Administration Office and Box Office) will be closed on Monday, September 30, 2024. New Play Development Workshops, Foote Theatre School and Young Company sessions will be taking place with special recognition of the day.
