Traduit de l'anglais par François Godbout L'histoire de la contribution des évangéliques dans les années 1990 à la création de la Journée nationale des peuples autochtones continue d'inspirer le travail de réconciliation aujourd'hui. Le principal instigateur de cette journée fériée du 21 juin était Elijah Harper, un député chrétien autochtone des années 1990.

Watch a video message based on this column According to my Aeroplan loyalty program statement, I’m a frequent flyer. I’ve almost never feared for my life on airline flights. But there was one white-knuckle trip into Toronto when extreme rain, crosswinds and turbulence caused us to hit the runway violently, only to take off again because, the pilot calmly explained later, we had been blown

Twice on Sunday, once on Wednesday and Friday for youth group. Sometimes I even went to church when the doors were locked! (Our family took a turn on the church cleaning schedule.)

In the lead up to the big event, Mom spent hours coaching me to read the lines with expression, volume and clarity. On production night I perched up on a little stool – too short to see over the podium – and proudly, if nervously, delivered my lines. Though I don’t remember who she was, a woman
