One Day's Pay

“We must learn to talk to and about each other with respect. Reconciliation may take generations, but if we commit to it properly, we can achieve it. Every year on Sept 30, we stand together and say: never again.” -Murray Sinclair Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors, their families, and communities. 🧡 Reconciliation is more than reflection, it requires action. Give, learn, and commit to change. Reflect and act at onedayspay.ca.
