The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to recognize the ongoing legacy of residential schools and to honour the children who never came home, the Survivors, and their families and communities. It is day for reflection on the past harms that still shape the present, and for action that moves us on the path toward reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

Today we reflect on our responsibilities, listen deeply to Indigenous voices, and recommit ourselves to building a safer, more equitable future for all.
