Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Residential School Survivors, their families, and the children who never made it home. We remember the truths of Canada’s history and the resilience of Indigenous communities who continue to share their stories.
This day is not only a time to reflect but also a call to action to listen to Survivors, to learn about the history of Residential Schools, and to commit ourselves to building relationships based on respect, healing, and Reconciliation.
Every Child Matters.
