Canada observes National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a solemn time to honor the lives of Indigenous children lost in residential schools, fostering remembrance and healing.
With over 150,000 Indigenous children forced into church-run residential schools, we've reached an estimate of more than 4,100 who tragically did not survive their ordeal, emphasizing the urgent need for recognition and education.
Special events and ceremonies, including a meaningful gathering in Ottawa, illuminate our commitment to reconciliation. The Peace Tower and Senate building glow in orange, symbolizing solidarity and remembrance.
Support for survivors is crucial, with dedicated resources such as the Indian Residential School Crisis Line offering 24-hour crisis referral services to help those affected combat their trauma.
