National Day for
Truth & Reconciliation

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation occurs on September 30, also known as Orange Shirt Day. We encourage everyone to take the time today, and all days to acknowledge and better understand the history and harms done to Indigenous People across the country.

During this short, six video series you will listen to six Community Leaders, Elders and Knowledge Keepers, as they share with us their perspective on Truth and Reconciliation.

This video series was made possible with funding from Qalipu First Nation.
