National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Today we honour the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today we observe the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
On September 30th of each year, we honour the Survivors of residential schools and remember the children who did not return, as well as their families and communities. We take this day as a day of reflection to recognize and commemorate the harmful legacy of the residential school system in Canada.
