REGINA — The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes Tuesday, Sept. 30 as Truth and Reconciliation Day. The day honours residential school survivors, their families and communities and pays tribute to the children who did not return home. "Truth and Reconciliation Day calls on us to learn, reflect and take meaningful steps together toward reconciliation," Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs Eric Schmalz said. "I encourage residents to take part in community events, listen and learn from residential school Survivors and find ways to support our province's healing journey together." Sept. 30 is also Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led initiative that raises awareness of the lasting impacts of the residential school system while affirming that every child matters.
