September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day are both dedicated to honouring Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities, and to recognize the lasting impacts of Canada’s Residential School system.
These commemorations provide an opportunity to deepen Canada’s understanding of the intergenerational effects of residential schools and to reflect on their enduring legacy as part of the ongoing journey toward truth, healing, and reconciliation.
