Ways to Participate in Truth and Reconciliation
Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation serves as a solemn occasion to reflect on the tragic history of Residential Schools and to pay tribute to Indigenous children, Survivors, their families, and communities. Observed annually on September 30th, this federal statutory holiday, also known as Orange Shirt Day, is dedicated to honoring the resilience of Residential School Survivors and their enduring legacies. For many non-Indigenous Canadians, grasping the concept of reconciliation and finding meaningful ways to engage can be challenging.
