Olds College

TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Olds College of Agriculture and Technology is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations. The area is also home to Metis Nation of Alberta, Region III.

NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

September 30 marked the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Therefore, we pause to reflect on the nature of Truth and Reconciliation, and the truth is that words alone aren't enough for full reconciliation to occur, nor is it sufficient for conversations to happen for one day or one week in a year. It will take dedicated work for generations for proper healing to happen, and it must be accomplished through action.

On Wednesday, we had the privilege of listening to men's volleyball Bronco Phillip Sutherland from Manitoba's Peguis First Nation speak briefly on the impact of residential schools on Indigenous people, as well as what the ideas of Truth and Reconciliation mean to him.

We are thankful to have the opportunity to learn, and we must continue to educate ourselves in order to start finding a way forward.

BRONCOS PLAYER SPOTLIGHT

Second-year Bronco Valentin Kirchner has been steady in the midfield all season for the Broncos, controlling the play and finding his chances to make an impact offensively.

The Salmunster, GER native has scored three times this season, including both goals in a 2-2 draw with the Medicine Hat College Rattlers on Sept. 18, as well as opening the scoring in the 43rd minute of last Saturday's 2-0 win over the Ambrose University Lions, which got the Broncos into the win column for the first time this season.

ORANGE SHIRT DAY

Today is the first Orange Shirt Day match for the Broncos in the 2022-23 season (other dates to come), and our Broncos will warm up in their orange shirts, which were designed by Lillyen and Delany Swedgren of Kehewin Cree Nation in Elk Point, Alberta.

The Olds College Broncos are committed to engaging in, and promoting, the conversation surrounding the meaning behind Orange Shirt Day, as well as the need for truth and reconciliation in Canada.
