The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day) is on Tuesday, September 30, 2026. It is a day of commemoration of the painful history of residential schools in Canada. It honours the children who never returned home from residential schools. We have a list of a few events happening to honour and learn.
