Ceremonies will honour residential school survivors and children who never returned, with a 90-minute Parliament Hill event featuring speeches, performances and a shoe display.
- Canadians across the country mark the fifth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Wednesday, honouring residential school survivors and those who never made it home.
- Beginning in the 19th century, more than 150,000 Indigenous children were separated from families and sent to residential schools, a system the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 2015 report identified as state-backed cultural genocide.
- CBC/Radio-Canada, APTN, and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation are hosting their annual "Remembering the Children" event on Parliament Hill, where experts note the documented 3,200 deaths could be much higher.
- Stephanie Scott, executive director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, said "Honouring these children means facing our history with unwavering honesty and ensuring that Never Again is not just a phrase, but a binding commitment."
- Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to speak in Edmonton as events, including Orange Shirt Day observances, take place in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Iqaluit to reflect on the residential school legacy.
