Today, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is a time to honour the residential school survivors and the children who were separated from their families and communities.

September 30 is also a day to deepen our understanding of the experiences and perspectives of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and to recognize the importance of carrying stories, cultures and traditions through future generations. Reconciliation is an ongoing process, and we can continue to listen, learn, and reflect on our shared responsibility to support it.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, nous prenons un moment pour rendre hommage aux survivants des pensionnats et aux enfants qui ont été séparés de leurs familles et de leurs communautés.

Le 30 septembre est également l’occasion d’approfondir notre compréhension des expériences et des perspectives des Premières Nations, des Inuit et des Métis, et de reconnaître l’importance de transmettre les histoires, les cultures et les traditions d'une génération à l’autre. La réconciliation est un processus continu, et nous pouvons continuer à écouter, à apprendre et à réfléchir à notre responsabilité collective de contribuer à la réconciliation.

A couple of weeks ago, we stopped by Enactus Northeastern's launch event for their project, SecondPlate and its new app.

SecondPlate connects customers with discounted surplus meals from local restaurants to help reduce food waste in Toronto. This venture was also recognized as the Best Project for the 2026 Alterna Savings SDG Project Accelerator.

It was inspiring to see students, partners, and alumni come together to celebrate an idea moving from the classroom into the community. Congratulations, SecondPlate!
