In June of this year, the federal government passed legislation to mark September 30, 2021 as a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The designation of this day is in response to one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action and is meant to honour survivors, their families, and communities. It also ensures the ongoing commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools will remain a vital part of the reconciliation process.
We encourage all to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, whether through personal reflection or awareness activities.
