September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Take an opportunity to reflect, learn, and celebrate the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Mรฉtis.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day are both observed annually on September 30th, and they are dedicated to honouring Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities, and to recognize the lasting impacts of Canadaโs Residential School system. These commemorations provide an opportunity to deepen Canadaโs understanding of the intergenerational effects of residential schools and to reflect on their enduring legacy as part of the ongoing journey toward truth, healing, and reconciliation.
On September 30, Canadians are encouraged to wear orange in honour of Residential School Survivors and their families, and in remembrance of the children who never returned home.
