Ontario’s only First Nation representative at Queen’s Park plans to soon table proposed legislation, in his own Indigenous language, to have the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation declared a paid provincial holiday.

Memorials abound on the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and in parts of the United States on Monday, Sept. 30. The federal holiday became official in 2021. Even the Canadian Football League is honoring the children who passed away in boarding schools as a way to never forget the horrors done to Native peoples during colonialism.

Canada marks the fourth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation today. The day is a time to honour and remember Indigenous children who died at residential schools, the survivors, their families and communities.

A monument to honour residential school survivors is set to be unveiled in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square today.
