On September 30th, 2023, we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
What is 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.
On this day, we encourage people to take time to explore the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and stories of local First Nations.
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
(NCTR)
What is the NCTR?
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) is a place of learning and dialogue where the truths of Residential School Survivors, families and communities are honoured and kept safe for future generations.
The NCTR educates Canadians on the profound injustices inflicted on First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation by the forced removal of children to attend residential schools and the widespread abuse suffered in those schools.
