Today, September 30, is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities who continue to be impacted by the lasting effects of the residential school system.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to listen, learn, and reflect on the truths of Canada's history, while recognizing that reconciliation is an ongoing journey and a shared responsibility. Taking time to read Indigenous perspectives, attend local events, support Indigenous businesses and artists, and learn about Indigenous histories are all meaningful ways to take part.
As we reflect today, we recognize that the Niagara River flows through lands that have long been connected to Indigenous Peoples and cultures.
