Regina’s executive committee is being asked to provide $50,000 in funding for an event to mark the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Regina.

The first miyo-wîcîwitowin Day in the city’s history is scheduled to be held on Sept. 29 at Mosaic Stadium through a partnership of Regina Exhibition Association Limited and Cowessess First Nation.

The words mean reconciliation in Cree, and the goal is to bring approximately 15,000 people, including students, business leaders and the public, together in order to create a dialogue about the effects of residential schools.
