National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Each year, September 30 marks Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, to raise awareness of the impact of Indian residential schools, remember the children who never returned home and honour survivors, their families and communities. The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda is committed to recognizing this day and taking intentional steps on the journey to reconciliation.
This year, we're marking Truth and Reconciliation Sunday on September 29. Whether your ministry unit is just beginning its reconciliation journey or you’re already on the reconciliation path but looking to take more steps to further your journey, the below resources will help spark conversations, grow understanding and build reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
