National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour survivors and remember the children who never returned home. We recognize the lasting impact of residential schools on families and communities.
There will be no scheduled college-wide activities through the Indigenous Centre on September 30. The Centre team will dedicate the day to being present with and supporting Indigenous students.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to wear an orange t-shirt for Orange T-Shirt Day.
Every Child Matters. 🧡
