National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Description
Established in 2021 as Canada's newest federal statutory holiday, honoring the Indigenous children who perished at residential schools and the survivors who endured them. Observed on September 30th, also known as Orange Shirt Day, Canadians wear orange to raise awareness. Events include community walks, educational workshops, and ceremonies led by Indigenous elders. Federal employees and workers in federally regulated industries receive the day off; provincial observance varies across the country.
