The year 2026 marks 30 years since the last federally run residential school in Canada closed its doors in 1996. Every year on September 30, we observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - an opportunity for all people living in Canada to pause and reflect on the history of residential “schools”, where over 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forcefully removed from their families and culture and subjected to unspeakable violence.

Committing to continued education is a vital step in honouring the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities, and to remember the children who never returned home. Learn more and take further action at egale.ca/truth-and-reconciliation/

Image: The Survivors’ Flag (National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation) is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by Survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the survivors, and their families and communities. Orange Shirt Day began with the story of Phyllis Webstad, a residential school survivor who shared how her new orange shirt was taken from her on her first day of residential school. Today, the orange shirt is a symbol of remembrance and a reminder that every child matters.

OAC has put together a list of ways to observe in Ottawa today: https://www.facebook.com/OttawaAboriginalCoalition/posts/-september-30-national-day-for-truth-and-reconciliation-orange-shirt-dayon-septe/1435511358721091/
