Friday is the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation

Each year, September 30th 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.

The imagery has powerful meaning. The circle is at the centre, which represents being together in spirit of reconciliation. The orange colour represents truth-telling and healing. The pathway represents the road to reconciliation. First Nations are represented by the Eagle. The Narwal represents the Inuit, and Métis are represented by the Beaded Flower.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we acknowledge that we are all a part of building good relations.

We are all Treaty people.
