National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. This day serves as a moment to remember and honor the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities still grappling with the enduring effects of this chapter in Canadian history.

Acknowledging and reflecting on this part of our history is an essential step on the path to genuine reconciliation. As part of our individual commitments to foster meaningful and lasting change, we invite you to review the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s final report and Calls to Action. We also invite you to find pieces to read, watch and listen to as a way to engage in Reconciliation efforts.

During a PGO-hosted webinar this September, speaker – Trina Maher quotes “For each of you on the call today, it’s your opportunity to reflect and decide what your role is going to be in terms of how you want to bring Reconciliation into the work that you do and into the role you play in your family and in your community”.
