Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day dedicated to remembering the Indigenous children who were taken from their families and communities and never returned, as well as honouring the survivors, families, and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. As Acuitians operating on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples, we have a collective duty to confront this history, learn from it, and actively engage in the work of healing and reconciliation. National Day for Truth and Reconciliation encourages us to pause, reflect, and educate ourselves about how we can take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.
