September 30 is Orange Shirt Day & the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually on September 30. It is a day to reflect on the past and ongoing injustices experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. It serves as a day of recognition, remembrance, and a commitment to learning about the history and legacy of the Indian residential school system. This day honours the survivors, their families, and communities, while acknowledging the deep intergenerational trauma caused by these institutions and actions. As we approach September 30, we encourage everyone to engage with these self-directed learning resources to deepen our understanding, foster empathy, and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.
You are also invited to a free screening of the documentary Sugarcane, by Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, on October 1 at the Regent Theatre.
