On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation with empathy, understanding, and solidarity we encourage you to take time to learn about how you can move the City of Stratford toward long-term Reconciliation.

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place each year on September 30th to honour Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities, and the children who never returned home.

🧡 If you are a Survivor and need support, a national crisis line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week: Residential School Survivor Support Line: 1-866-925-4419

It is a day for learning and reflection about the legacy of residential schools and the ongoing harm of colonial practices.  Visit the link below for resources to help you learn the truth about our shared history and walk the path toward reconciliation. splibrary.ca/ndtr
