Schools, postsecondary institutions mark NDTR with ceremonies, events

In honour of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR), several schools and institutions across the country held special assemblies and ceremonies, gathered for commemorative walks, and shared learning resources. Schools such as those in the Comox Valley School (CVS) district, Queen’s University, the University of Manitoba, and Yellowquill University College held assemblies, ceremonies, and talks. Community members from Algoma University, CVS district schools, the Delta School District, UManitoba, the University of Prince Edward Island, and other schools gathered for special activities such as talking circles, walks and marches, and themed crafts. Several schools shared books by Indigenous authors in their classes and shared learning resources and reading lists with members of the community who were interested in learning more. Across the country, schools encouraged their staff and students to wear orange for Orange Shirt Day.
