Reconciliation
Scarf
This scarf was designed to be an exclusive gift for winners of the British Columbia Reconciliation Award. This distinguished award is presented by the Lieutenant Governor of BC, in partnership with the BC Achievement Foundation, and recognizes individuals, groups and organizations who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, respect and commitment to furthering reconciliation or inspiring others to continue reconciliation efforts. The award reflects the essence of ‘putting truth before reconciliation’ and how the process of reconciliation can strengthen connections between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
The scarves were produced and donated by Black Goat Cashmere as a gesture of their commitment to reconciliation.
