Thunder Bay

Canadians are observing the sixth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, honouring survivors and victims of the residential school system. Events include a flag raising in Thunder Bay, while Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement and the Governor General made a plea for 'understanding the truth'. Special programming such as Turtle Island Talks is also airing to mark the day.

Thunder Bay Theatre in Alpena, Michigan has launched its fall fundraiser, appealing to the local community for donations to support its operations and programming. The appeal was reported by The Alpena News. Community theatres typically rely on seasonal fundraising drives to bridge gaps between ticket revenue and operating costs, and residents are being encouraged to contribute.
