Flags will be at half-mast on Friday, September 30 to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The Government of Canada passed legislation to make September 30 a federal statutory holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day is an important step in the reconciliation process. It provides an opportunity to recognize and commemorate the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and to honour their survivors, their families and communities.
More details can be found in the President's Message.
