Our NEU office will be closed tomorrow to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
On September 30th, people across Canada will observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, their families, and the generations who continue to live with the impacts of the residential school system.
Tomorrow we encourage all members to wear orange, to listen, learn and to recommit to supporting Inuit, indigenous artists and businesses.
