National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 30, 2021

Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and stand with our Indigenous colleagues and communities. Spud is committed as a company to furthering our and our team’s understanding of the history and impacts of residential schools and the mistreatment of Indigenous People. We are grateful that we will have the chance to take this day to observe, learn, participate, and hold space for healing, reparations, and unity. We stand with our Indigenous colleagues and communities by listening, and learning.

Spud and Blush Lane, acknowledge that we are privileged to come and work together on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous nations. Please find the complete list here:
