This day of public commemoration honours the children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools. Affected families and communities are also remembered as part of the reconciliation process.
Our office will be closed on October 2, 2023, to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, held each year on September 30, 2023. The intention is to spend the day educating ourselves about this day and the ways in which our tragic history continues to affect indigenous communities.
