It was such a joy to work with the amazing artists and bring the Collective Light exhibition to life. ✨
Most of all, it’s heartwarming to see so many of you connecting with the artworks and to see that so many pieces are finding new homes. 🤍
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this beautiful journey and helped our light shine even brighter!
A special thank you to my wonderful art team, Yas and Talia.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.

As an art gallery, we believe in the importance of listening, learning and recognizing the artists whose voices and practices have shaped, and continue to shape, the cultural landscape of this land.

Reconciliation requires more than remembrance on a single day. It requires continued learning, listening and respect.

Every Child Matters.
