SEPTEMBER 30 IS NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH & RECONCILIATION (Orange Shirt Day)
The day honours the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
