Each year in Canada, we commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on September 30. It is a day in which we remember those lives who were lost, honour the survivors, and reflect on those whose lives have been forever impacted by the residential school system.

Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation both take place on September 30. Orange Shirt Day is led by Indigenous communities to raise awareness of the intergenerational impacts the residential school system has had on their families and communities.
