Every child matters. 🧡

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honor the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. We pause to reflect on the painful history and enduring legacies of the residential school system in Canada.

Reconciliation is not a single day of reflection. It is an active, ongoing commitment.
