National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – also known as Orange Shirt Day – is a day for remembrance, mourning, learning and growth. It is an opportunity to honour the survivors, families and communities impacted by residential schools and the continued trauma faced by Indigenous communities throughout the country and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. September 30 is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion and reflection to reaffirm that survivors, and all those that have been affected, matter. Every Child Matters.
