National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, on Monday, September 30, is a Canadian federal statutory holiday that honours the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. This day provides time for all Canadians to learn about the history and legacy of residential schools, reflect on their impacts, and commit to the ongoing work of reconciliation.

Many people wear an orange shirt on this day, inspired by Orange Shirt Day, to recognize and honour those who were affected by the residential school system. We want to encourage everyone in the KELSET community to explore and connect with some of the wonderful Indigenous events happening around the city.
