September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is also day for each of us to acknowledge and confront the painful history of colonization and the lasting impacts it has on Indigenous communities. By taking the time to reflect on the injustices they have endured, we can begin to understand the profound importance of Truth and Reconciliation.
If you have not yet made plans for how you will mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, here are resources we hope that you will find useful:
We extend grateful thanks to our colleagues at United Way Simcoe Muskoka, who have researched and shared locally organized events taking place in our region. You’ll find those here:

In “One Day’s Pay: A Path to Reconciliation”, AFP Canada has spotlighted the work of One Day’s Pay a grassroots campaign launched on September 30, 2021, the inaugural National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, to mobilize settlers to meaningfully recognize and commemorate the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and to honour their survivors, their families and communities. Their motto: Reflect. Then Act. https://afpglobal.org/news/one-days-pay-path-reconciliation
Guided by The Circle, an Indigenous women-led organization which is working to transform philanthropy and contribute to positive change between Philanthropy and Indigenous communities, One Day’s Pay has so far raised $750,000 for Indigenous initiatives including The Orange Shirt Society and the Residential School Survivors’ Society. https://www.the-circle.ca/
