Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.

The Dufferin Board of Trade stands in support of truth, reconciliation, reflection, and continued learning. We encourage our business community and residents to take time today to listen, learn, and reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools in Canada.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and each of us has a role to play in building a more understanding, respectful, and inclusive future.
