Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation 2025 taking place June 20
June 19, 2025 - 1:00pm
This news release is being sent on behalf of Reconciliation Saskatoon.
Reconciliation Saskatoon invites everyone in the community to join the 2025 Rock Your Roots: Walk for Reconciliation on June 20. The Rock Your Roots Walk is usually held on National Indigenous Peoples Day, which is a Saturday this year. Holding the walk a day early allows schools to participate.
Event Details:
Friday, June 20
Walk starts at 10:30 a.m., program starts at 11:45 a.m.
Victoria Park
This walk brings the community together to honour the truth of the Residential schools and those who survived them, as well as demonstrate our collective commitment to reconciliation. This year’s theme is “waniskâk” which means “everyone wake up”.
After the walk, Reconciliation Saskatoon will host a program and activities in the park, thanks to the generous donations and support from the many community investors who have come on board to make this year’s growing event a success.
Those in attendance will have an opportunity to enjoy some performances and to listen to Elders and Residential School Survivors about the importance of reconciliation and sharing this information with the next generation.
Participants of the walk are invited to “Rock Your Roots” by wearing orange or contemporary/cultural regalia or carrying signs that celebrate their heritage.
Reconciliation Saskatoon recognizes the incredible support of Community Investors that make this walk possible. For the full list of supporters and all event details visit: Reconciliation Saskatoon | Facebook
Rock Your Roots is organized by Reconciliation Saskatoon, which is co-chaired by the City of Saskatoon. The intent of this event is to answer the TRC Calls to Action by demonstrating a commitment to Reconciliation, honouring Residential School Survivors, and continuing work towards an inclusive community. The walk has been an annual one in Saskatoon since 2016.
