In Canada, September 30th is recognized as National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, fulfilling the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's call to action #80. This call to action means that the federal government, in collaboration with Indigenous peoples, established this statutory holiday to honour survivors, their families, and communities and ensure that the history and legacy of residential schools are never forgotten. This day has created another opportunity to find meaningful ways to connect to this important part of Canada's history. Below we share some ideas for how you can honour this day. |
