Reflect on Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
September 30 is Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. How will you mark the day?
- Think about the children and families of our neighbours who were and continue to be impacted by the residential school system
- Wear orange in honour of the children who did not come home, those who have lived as survivors and their families
- Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action and look for ways to bring action to reconciliation
- Commit to learning about the people who’s traditional territory we live on. Here are some great resources:
- Shawanaga First Nation has an interesting history of The First Peoples of Georgian Bay
- Georgian Bay Biosphere has an extensive collection of resources for cultural learning
- The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation has some great educational materials
- Find a local event you can attend to honour the day
- Learn how the Government of Canada is working to advance reconciliation here
