Things to do for Canada Day: Reflect and Learn
Listen to and learn about the stories of Indigenous Peoples in Canada:

The Seven Sacred Laws

Learn about the Residential School System first-hand from Residential School Survivors, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, artists and leaders from nations across the country through this educational video program hosted by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in September of 2020. https://nctr.ca/education/every-child-matters/

Read the reports from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

Reflect on the impact of residential schools on Canada’s history, and what we can do to continue working towards reconciliation.
