National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, observed on September 30 in Canada, is a day to honor the survivors of residential schools and acknowledge the harm caused by their history. It aims to promote awareness, understanding, and reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and all Canadians. The day encourages reflection on the injustices faced by Indigenous communities, including cultural loss and intergenerational trauma, and supports efforts to foster healing, respect, and meaningful reconciliation for the future.
