National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

& Orange Shirt Day

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to honour the Survivors of the residential school system, the children who did not make it home, as well as their families and communities. Today we commemorate and reflect on the historical and ongoing impacts of residential schools. Here are 3 ways to observe the day:

1.Be informed on indigenous history and the residential school system

2. Engage in events in your community

3. Wear an orange shirt

As every child matters, so does every effort we make to support truth and reconciliation. To learn more, visit:
