⏰ Don’t forget to “fall back”!

Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 1, 2026. Before you head to bed Saturday night, set your clocks BACK one hour and enjoy that extra hour of sleep.

It’s also a good seasonal reminder to check the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

🍂 Are you ready for the earlier sunsets — or do you wish we’d keep Daylight Saving Time year-round?

Now at the Billy Bishop Museum:
Unbroken: Honouring Veterans from the Saugeen Ojibway Nation

“Unbroken” commemorates the lives, experiences, and sacrifices of First Nations Veterans from the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and the Saugeen First Nation.

It explores the stories of local veterans that have unfolded over the past two centuries, from those who fought alongside Tecumseh during the War of 1812, to those who served during the World Wars, the Korean War, in the American Military, and in recent peacekeeping missions.

The men and women featured in this exhibit have made, and continue to make, extraordinary contributions to Canada’s military legacy, despite confronting barriers, marginalization, and discrimination.

PROTECTING HISTORICAL TRUTHS AND RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL DENIALISM

The NCTR acknowledges recent comments made by Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew regarding residential school denialism. We maintain the deepest respect for Premier Kinew, his leadership, and his commitment to Indigenous Peoples, truth and reconciliation across Manitoba and Canada.

The NCTR shares the Premier’s belief that education is a vital tool in combatting misinformation and building mutual understanding—a responsibility the NCTR proudly carries out every day. While teaching the true history of Canada’s residential school system is essential, education alone is not enough.

Residential school denialism is not simply a difference of opinion or a misunderstanding of history—it is a deliberate form of harm. The willful spread of false narratives, hate-filled rhetoric, and the belittling of Survivor experiences inflicts real, recurring trauma on Survivors, their families, and communities.

When denialism targets communities, dishonours missing children, and disputes documented evidence, it crosses the line from debate into active harm. For this reason, the NCTR stands in firm support of legislative measures, including criminalization, that target the intentional promotion of residential school denialism, creating enforceable legal mechanisms to hold perpetrators accountable.

Our concern over denialism is inseparable from our sacred duty to protect historical records. Truth requires evidence, and evidence must be safeguarded.
