NSCC Sydney Waterfront Campus

09/29/2026

On September 30, the College will be closed for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as we pause to commemorate and honour the children who never returned home from residential schools and the Survivors, families and communities forever impacted. It’s also a time to learn about the many Calls to Action and commit ourselves to the work of reconciliation.

To honour this day, all NSCC flags will be at half-mast. We encourage our community to wear orange and learn more about the history of Mi'kma'ki, the land we live on today.
