September 30th marks the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation for Canada. Creating a federal day of remembrance was one of the 94 calls to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission back in 2015. The day is set aside in honour of all the children who survived residential schools, as well as to recognize those who did not return.

This year, we are inviting you to participate in a nation-wide Orange Cap campaign to raise funds and awareness for National Truth and Reconciliation Day. Along with wearing your orange cap, we encourage you to share the attached educational document with your team as well as participate in a walk together on September 30. It is important to recognize that while raising funds is a step, we must continue to focus on building relationships, taking action and educating ourselves as part of the journey to Reconciliation.
