September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is in response to Call to Action 80 in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action, and has been marked as a day to, “honour Survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential school remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.”
The AIBC will be closed on September 30 to show its support for truth and reconciliation and inclusion.
This is a day of learning, listening, commemoration, and reflection, and AIBC Staff have been provided resources to continue their learning about the experience of Indigenous people in Canada. The AIBC encourages registrants and the public to create time and give thought to their own commitment towards truth and reconciliation on a personal and professional level.
