National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – September 30, 2025
Reconciliation is an ongoing process rooted in action.
On September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Culture Days highlights activities led by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit organizers, as well as events that engage with themes of Truth and Reconciliation. These offerings seek to acknowledge our shared histories and promote a better understanding of the harms done and foster a deeper understanding of reconciliation through meaningful engagement.
With events and activities happening across Canada, there are many opportunities to observe NDTR with intention. Culture Days invites everyone to take time—on this day and every day—to listen, learn, and participate in ways that contribute to reconciliation.
