Today is the the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to remember and honour the survivors of the Canadian residential school system.

It is a day that brings together the Orange Shirt movement and the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

It's a day to participate in the call to action that "reconciliation starts with each of us".

To learn more about reconciliation and the history of the residential school system, please visit the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation's website: https://nctr.ca/
