Sept 30, 2023: National Day For Truth and Reconciliation

As of 2021, September 30 has been recognized by the Government of Canada as an official statutory holiday aimed at recognizing the legacy of residential schools and the impact it has had on the Indigenous community. This day is an opportunity for everyone to partake in activities involving reflection, education, and reconciliation. We highly recommend to take some time and try to attend the inspiring events going on within your community, do some research on the history of indigenous cultures, and watch some documentaries to assist in your reflection process. Below you can find some useful information regarding activities happening within the Regina area involving Truth and Reconciliation in the coming days:
