What is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?
The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, 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.
Thank you so much to SIGA for supporting our 2024 Dance and Music Presentations
