Truth and reconciliation

As we approach Truth and Reconciliation week and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we want to acknowledge and honour the ancestral territory of all the Inuit, Metis, and First Nations people that call this land home. We want to pause, reflect, and learn during this time and honour the survivors and victims. There are some activities that you can do with your students to reflect and build mutual respect and equitable relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.

On Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we take a moment to honor the Indigenous people's history, culture, and resilience. Let's reflect on the past, embrace the truth, and work together toward a future of healing and reconciliation. May this day inspire ongoing dialogue, empathy, and a shared path forward. #canada #nationaldayfortruthandreconciliation #indigenouspeoples #history #healing #empathy #unity

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the tragic events that Indigenous Children went through in residential schools. Now, we recognize their journey towards healing. Today we honour those who have survived residential schools and remember those who are lost.

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day we have traditionally observed as Orange Shirt Day — a grass-roots initiative begun by residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad. While honoring the survivors of residential schools was among the 94 Calls to Action put forward by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, remembrance without action rings hollow. #Indigenous #FirstNations #Inuit #Métis #Education #Teaching
