National Day For Truth And Reconciliation

Sep 30, 2024 | Uncategorized

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. The day is also known as Orange Shirt Day, which reminds us through the storytelling, the moment Phyllis (Jack) Webstad’s new orange shirt was taken away from her. Although only observed one day annually, the work of Truth and Reconciliation must be embraced daily to foster meaningful and lasting change. It is important to engage together in meaningful conversation, reflection and true reconciliation to ensure our path of lifelong learning is cherished as we move forward to a better future.
