Today, as we observe Truth and Reconciliation Day, we must reflect on the ongoing journey towards healing and understanding. This day is not just a moment of remembrance; it is an essential call to action for individuals and organizations alike. The legacy of residential schools and the broader impact of colonialism on Indigenous communities remind us of the importance of acknowledging past injustices. By confronting these truths, we pave the way for genuine reconciliation. In our workplaces and communities, let’s commit to fostering a culture of respect and understanding. This means listening to Indigenous voices, supporting their initiatives, and educating ourselves and others about their histories and cultures. Reconciliation requires ongoing effort and collaboration. Together, we can create a future rooted in justice, equity, and mutual respect. Let’s honor this day by taking tangible steps toward a more inclusive society. #TRC #TruthandReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay #respect #diversity
On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we wear our orange shirts as we take time to reflect on the painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities. #EveryChildMatters

September 30th: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Today, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Publicly acknowledging the tragic history and lasting impact of residential schools is a crucial step in the reconciliation process. In observance of this day, we will raise a special flag, and we invite everyone to take a moment to reflect on how we can each contribute to truth and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
