Sept 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We encourage you to also wear orange in honour of #OrangeShirtDay today. We commemorate the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Acknowledging these truths is essential to moving forward on the path of healing and unity. 🧡Did you know? 1 in 3 indigenous people in Canada have kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease has a strong impact on the health of Indigenous people and communities. Through research and engagement, Can-SOLVE CKD is working to eliminate disparities in access to diagnosis and treatment facing First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals.

Pulling me forward – “Follow me, and we’ll get to the top together…”Hear the voices behind Kidney March — real stories of strength, struggle, and purpose told by those who lived them. This digital story was created by the storyteller Michelle titled "Pulling Me Forward” as part of the ‘Marching Through Stories’ project in 2025. Content Warning: This video contains sensitive material that may be distressing to some viewers. Topics include the death of a child, grief and bereavement, and potentially emotionally intense scenes. Viewer discretion is advised, especially for those who may be affected by themes of loss, trauma, or child-related tragedy. “Marching Through Stories” is a study conducted by the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Nursing with support from The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Southern Alberta Branch, exploring experiences and impacts of Kidney March through digital storytelling. The project aims to contribute to the understanding of how such events foster community, support, and advocacy. The project provides the kidney community a unique opportunity to share their personal experiences related to chronic kidney disease.Hear other stories and learn more about Why We March at kidneymarch.ca/marcher-stories/ ...
