As we head towards National Day of Truth and Reconciliation this Friday, September 30th, we reflect on the past and look to the future. Our recent blog post focused on 'Facing the Truth' as we shared an update on the search for unmarked graves. Today, we focus on 'Reconciliation in Action' by sharing activities and events from across Canada, sent in by our SVS team.  These events and activities are a way to listen, learn and reflect about the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.
