What's New > September 30 National Day for Truth And Reconciliation
 |
September 30 is National Day for Truth And Reconciliation.
This important day, also know as Orange Shirt Day, was created in response to Call to Action 80 in the 94 Calls to Action, calling for a federal statutory day of commemoration.
This day serves to recognize the legacy of Residential Schools, and the painful, ongoing impact it has had on generations of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. It is a day to honour both the Survivors and the many children lost forever.
