Good morning, Peak readers

Photo feature of the day, today in history, the weather forecast and local gas prices

Happy Monday!

Vanesa Acuto contributed today’s featured image, which was taken at a sunset candlelight vigil hosted by Tla’amin Nation on September 29. The nation held the special event at Tis’kwat, a place of its ancestors, to honour its citizens/elders and all those who attended residential school, and to provide a place for the community to connect and spend time with family and friends.

Everyone wore orange shirts and orange candles were provided for the healing circle of love ceremony, which was organized by Cyndi Pallen and coordinated by Tla’amin executive council member Losa Luaifoa and legislators.
