What is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada?
Author: Erin Meighan

Summary
As the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada approaches on September 30, we are reminded of the trauma caused by Canada’s residential schools. For over one-hundred years, Indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families, subjected to cultural suppression, and often suffered abuse. The assimilation has left an enduring impact on Indigenous communities today. This day calls for acknowledgment, education, and a commitment to reconciliation.
