The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation seeks to recognize the tragic legacy for residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions. More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children were forced to attend residential schools between the 1870s and 1997.
All TNRL locations will be closed Saturday September 30th to observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
