National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

30 September 2021 marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The day honors the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

The creation of this federal statutory holiday was through legislative amendments made by Parliament. On June 3, 2021, Bill C-5, An Act to amend the Bills of Exchange Act, the Interpretation Act and the Canada Labor Code (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) received Royal Assent.
