September 30th, 2022 will be marking the second National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Through legislative amendments, Bill C-5 An Act to amend the Bills of Exchange Act, the Interpretation Act and the Canada Labour Code (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) received Royal Assent on June 3rd, 2021. As a result, September 30th “...honours the lost children and Survivors of residentials schools, their families and communities” (“National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” para. 2).
Across Canada, September 30th is also recognized as Orange Shirt Day.
Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day, enables global conversations to be held on all aspects of Residential Schools, helping to create meaningful discussions about the effects and the legacy that such have left behind. Indeed, the events held across Canada for Orange Shirt Day seek to “...commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation” (“The Story of Orange Shirt Day,” n.d., para. 2).
In honour of September 30th, we have uploaded in our Linktree an updated guide with events to attend, webinars to sign up for, and an extensive resource list encompassing books, documentaries and more!

Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation/Journée Chandail Orange
Le 30 september 2022 marquera la deuxième journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation.
Par voie de modifications législatives, le projet de loi C-5, Loi modifiant la Loi sur les lettres de change, la Loi d'interprétation et le Code canadien du travail (Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation) a reçu la sanction royale le 3 juin 2021. En conséquence, le 30 septembre «[...] honore les enfants perdus et les survivants des pensionnats, leurs familles et leurs communautés » (« Journée nationale pour la vérité et la réconciliation », par. 2).
Au Canada, le 30 septembre est aussi reconnu comme la Journée du chandail orange.
Ceci est une journée commémorative dirigée par des Autochtones, permet de tenir des conversations mondiales sur tous les aspects des pensionnats autochtones, aidant à créer des discussions significatives à propos des effets et de l'héritage qu'ils ont laissés derrière eux. En effet, les événements organisés à travers le Canada pour la Journée du chandail orange visent à « ...commémorer l'expérience des pensionnats, à témoigner et à honorer le parcours de guérison des survivants et de leurs familles, et à s'engager dans le processus continu de réconciliation en cours » (« The Story of Orange Shirt Day », s.d., paragraphe 2).
En l'honneur du 30 septembre, nous avons mis en ligne dans notre Linktree un guide mis à jour avec les événements auxquels assister, les webinaires auxquels s'inscrire et une longue liste de ressources comprenant des livres, des documentaires et plus encore!
