BGC Thompson

Every child who never came home was someone’s whole world. A child with a name, a family, a community, and a future that should have been theirs. 🧡

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we hold those children in our hearts. We honour Survivors, the families who waited for children to return, and the communities who continue to carry this loss.

At BGC Thompson, we are trusted to care for children and youth. That responsibility asks us to listen to the truth, and help every young person feel safe, valued, and supported.

We will keep learning. We will keep listening. And we will carry that responsibility into the days after September 30.

Every Child Matters.
