Hatfield Recognizes Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Sep 26, 2022
September 30 is Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Hatfield has chosen to provide this day off to give our staff time and space to properly observe this important day. We hope that Hatfield staff, and all Canadians, will reflect on the the residential school system, wear orange shirts in the spirit of reconciliation, and continue to educate themselves and their families.
To support reconciliation in your personal life, consider the following:
- Check your local news, city, and indigenous community websites for scheduled activities. Don’t know where to start? Try these links for events starting today around Metro Vancouver and Calgary.
- Watch special programming and review educational resources, including APTN – the first world’s first National Indigenous Broadcaster and the Assembly of First Nations. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) is hosting Truth and Reconciliation Week starting on Monday September 26th,
- Donate funds to support the work of organizations like the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSS), Urban Native Youth Association (UNYA), and National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
