September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconcilliation
The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is September 30th. It’s an opportunity to consider how we can encourage reconciliation as individuals, in our workplaces, and in our communities.
Previously, September 30 was known as Orange Shirt Day. It started as a grassroots movement established by Phyllis Webstad, a former Residential School Survivor to raise awareness of the intergenerational trauma experienced by survivors, their families and communities, and to promote the principle of “Every Child Matters”.
