On September 30, we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to reflect on the history and lasting impacts of residential schools and to recognize the resilience, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

At East Ridge Community School, we are committed to reconciliation not only on this day, but every day through learning, reflection, and action. To honour this important day and help create awareness and conversation, we encourage all students and staff to wear orange on September 30.

🧡 This National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day – Every Child Matters, take time to honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and reflect on the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

Communities across Canada are hosting events, ceremonies and learning opportunities.
