Truth and Reconciliation Day, September 30, is a day for nation-wide reflection and education
This September 30th, 2021 is the first year that the federal government has declared a statutory holiday to mark Truth and Reconciliation. In past years, September 30th has been marked as Orange Shirt Day. This date was chosen out of recognition that it was typically late September / early October that the federal government’s Indian Agents came for the children.
