Día Nacional por la Verdad y la Reconciliación: Sanar las Heridas del Pasado
El 30 de septiembre, los canadienses se unen para conmemorar el primer Día Nacional por la Verdad y la Reconciliación, un importante paso hacia la reconciliación con los Pueblos Indígenas de Canadá. En este día recordamos la historia trágica de las escuelas residenciales y honramos a los sobrevivientes, así como a las familias y comunidades afectadas.
Time for Indigenous communities to educate and reflect
On September 30 of each year, Canadians observe both National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, to commemorate the plight of Indigenous children who attended the nation’s residential schools between the mid-1800s and 1996.
For me, as an Indigenous person, it is a time to reflect and heal.

Opportunity for companies and clients to learn and listen
Indigenous people today, including the survivors of residential schools and their descendants, have bravely shared the trauma they and their loved ones have endured. If they have the courage to speak, we need to have to have the courage to listen.
National Day of Truth and Reconciliation gives corporations, businesses, and clients the opportunity to reflect on, and learn from, our shared past to ensure a better future for all.
