Around tables and over pints. For music, fundraisers, celebrations, conversations, and more ordinary Tuesday nights than we can count.
We talk a lot about community here. But being part of a community means more than having a place within it.
It means knowing the place you call home.
Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the generations who continue to carry the impacts of a system designed to separate Indigenous children from their families, communities, cultures, and languages.
There is responsibility in remembering.
To listen. To learn whose land we live on and the history beneath our feet. To seek out Indigenous voices, stories, and perspectives. To read the 94 Calls to Action. To support Indigenous-led organizations, businesses, artists, and initiatives.
And to take responsibility for that learning ourselves.
Here in Fredericton, we don't have to look far to begin. Under One Sky Friendship Centre, the Miโkmaq-Wolastoqey Centre at UNB, and the Wolastoqey Tribal Council are doing important work in our community, alongside the people of Sitansisk and Wolastoqey communities throughout this region.
Grimross has been lucky to have a place in this community for a long time.
Being part of it means taking the time to know it. Its people. Its history. Its stories. And the truths that aren't always easy to sit with.
Our taproom is open today. As always, it is a place to gather, but we encourage everyone to also make space today to listen, learn, and take part in the events and opportunities for reflection happening throughout our community.
Today, we make space for those truths.
And tomorrow, we keep learning. ๐งก
