This Thursday, September 30, is the National Day For Truth & Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.  This day serves as a reminder to take the time to deepen our understanding of the residential school system and the lasting impact that it has had on the lives of Survivors, families, communities, and Nations. 

There are many in-person and virtual events, not to mention free educational resources. Here is a list of just a few!
