SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) is observed annually on September 30. The day is meant to honour and commemorate the survivors of, and children who were lost to, Canada’s Indian Residential School (IRS) system, and to remember the painful history and ongoing impacts of colonialism in Canada.\nThis year, Monday, September 30 will be a non-instructional day at Huron and Western. This annual designation is intended to provide all individuals within our campus community with an opportunity to engage meaningfully with relevant events.\nWhile NDTR is a day observed annually, the work of Truth and Reconciliation must be embraced daily to foster meaningful and lasting change.\n\nHERE IS HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:\nHUCSC Orange Shirt Sales: Sept 23, 2024 – Sept 26, 2024\nFront Lobby, Frank Holmes Centre\nThe HUCSC will be selling Orange T-Shirts in the lobby of the Frank Holmes Centre, to recognize September 30th and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Our preacher will be Archdeacon Rosalyn Elm, Indigenous Ministries Coordinator for the Anglican Church of Canada and Archdeacon for Reconciliation and Indigenous Ministries in the Diocese of Huron. Archdeacon Ros is also Rector of the Parish of Six Nations and a Huron Theology alumna.\nImmediately following the service (at approximately 12:20 p.m.), on the lawn in front of the Chapel, we will plant orange flags to honour those Indigenous children who survived Residential Schools, such as the Mohawk Institute, and in memory of those who did not survive. All are welcome to attend and take part in this solemn time of reflection.
