News item: Division to honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 29 (2023)

In 2021, the Government of Canada passed legislation declaring September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day provides Canadians an opportunity to reflect and learn the truth of residential schools, as well as to honour the survivors and children who died.

The Division will acknowledge this important day on Friday, September 29.

Schools will recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day by:

  • participating in a virtual Division event on September 29
  • encouraging students and staff to wear orange at school on September 29
  • participating in Orange Shirt Day activities
