Today, on Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Remembering this tragic history and acknowledging its ongoing impact is vital in the journey toward reconciliation. Our camps are grateful to conduct programs on the traditional lands of Indigenous and Native communities. We encourage everyone to take time to learn more about this day and the land our Canadian member camps call home.
