🧡 **National Day for Truth and Reconciliation**

Today we take time to remember the children who never came home, honour Survivors, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of residential schools.

It is also a day to listen, learn and reflect on the part each of us can play in reconciliation.

Earlier today, Portage College held its annual Sunrise Ceremony. If you were not able to join, we invite you to watch the ceremony and share in this time of reflection.

🧡 Every Child Matters.
