Honouring Truth and Reconciliation
September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On this day, we honour and pay respect to the Indigenous children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as to survivors, intergenerational survivors, and Indigenous communities.
Orange Shirt Day
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has its roots in Orange Shirt Day. On this day we wear orange to raise awareness, to visibly honour the Indigenous children whose lives were lost to residential schools, and to share the message, 'Every Child Matters.'
