National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.

Public commemoration and acknowledgement of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
