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

We can all contribute and be part of the change by educating ourselves, listening to others and actively taking action towards reconciliation.

We encourage you to participate in the actions towards reconciliation for a better future, not only today but every day.

En cette journée nationale pour la vérité et la réconciliation, nous aimerions rendre hommage aux enfants qui ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux, aux survivants des pensionnats, ainsi qu’à leurs familles et leurs communautés.

Nous pouvons tous faire partie du changement, en nous éduquant, en étant à l’écoute et en posant des gestes concrets de réconciliation.

Nous vous encourageons à être des alliés proactifs pour la réconciliation, non pas seulement aujourd’hui, mais tous les jours.
