September 30 marks the first
National
Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Association wishes to recognize and
raise awareness about the history and legacies of the residential school
system as part of our reconciliation journey. We wish to highlight the
actions of our staff, members, and companies who are working toward the same
goals and ask that you share your pictures of the ways you will be
commemorating the day with your family and/or staff.
Send
us a picture of your activities, wearing your orange shirt, and we will
post on the Association's social media pages to honour and remember the
experiences of survivors, communities, and families.
