Today, we pause to remember the children who never made it home, and we hold close the survivors, families, and communities who carry their stories.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is not just about reflection—it’s about a commitment to listen, to learn, and to walk together toward healing and change.
Every step we take with open hearts brings us closer to a future built on respect, understanding, and unity.
