National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day for all Canadians to commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system.

It’s a day to honour the resilience, dignity and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors and remember the children who never came home. It’s a chance to engage and educate people about B.C.’s colonial history and how it has and continues to impact Indigenous communities.
