At Petrela, Winter & Associates, we join Canadians across the country in recognizing Remembrance Day — a moment to honour those who gave their lives in service to our nation and those who continue to protect it. We remember their courage. We honour their legacy. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #CanadaRemembers

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never returned home.   At Petrela, Winter & Associates, we recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey - one that requires listening, learning, and action. We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and awareness of Indigenous histories and experiences.   In support of the Indigenous community on this important occasion, PWA is making a donation to the Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto, a registered charity that offers emergency services and food programs for native women and their children.   Let this be more than a moment of reflection - let it be a call to ongoing education, allyship, and awareness. 🧡   #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #ReconciliationInAction
