Reminder: MD Offices Closed on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Every Child Matters
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation recognizes the tragic legacy of residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions.
Tuesday, September 30, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation—a day dedicated to honouring the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.
In observance, MD offices will be closed on this day, and will reopen on Wednesday, October 1, for regular business hours.
This day also coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which raises awareness of the intergenerational impacts of residential schools and promotes the message that "Every Child Matters." The orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, self-esteem, and freedom experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
On September 30, we encourage you to wear orange to honour the survivors of residential schools, as well as all those who never made it home.
