Observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
James Suffredine • September 30, 2021
September 30th has been proclaimed by the Government of Canada as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The Government of Canada is meeting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s call to action 80 by creating a holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, that seeks to honour First Nations, Inuit, Métis Survivors, and their families and communities to ensure that a public commemoration of their history and the legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process. The declaration of a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation provides the opportunity to build greater awareness, understanding and appreciation of the tests, trials, and contributions that have been made by indigenous peoples. The Town of Magrath itself somberly recognizes the history and legacy of residential schools in Canada and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will represent an important annual occasion for the commemoration on the history of Canada and a vital component of reconciliation with indigenous peoples.
The Town of Magrath Council have therefore motioned that September 30th shall be marked by half-masting the Town’s flags in observance.
