Commemorating National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: A path of reflection, learning and solidarity

Date: September 29, 2023

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to remember and honour Indigenous peoples, the children who never returned home, Survivors of Residential Schools, and their families and communities. September 30th is a day for reflection, learning and solidarity as we work towards healing, understanding and reconciliation. Let us walk this path together, with compassion and respect.
