Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

This event is part of our Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Business Program.  Thank you to those organizations who support this programming throughout the year:
