September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed each year to acknowledge the impacts of residential schools on Indigenous peoples across Canada. Today, we are reminded of the loss of culture, stories and freedom experienced by Indigenous youth in these schools. We honour those who were lost, we stand with the survivors and their communities and we reflect on the continual journey towards healing, truth and reconciliation. Today and always, we recognize that every child matters. 🧡
