National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Events in BC

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, a time to honour the children who never returned home, Residential School Survivors, their families and communities.

Across British Columbia, communities are gathering to reflect, learn, remember and walk together. We have compiled a selection of events across the province, including gatherings, walks, commemorations, and learning opportunities. We encourage everyone to respectfully participate in an event in their community and to continue learning about the truths and lasting intergenerational impacts of the Residential School system.

Event details may change, so please confirm dates, times and locations with organizers before attending.
