In 2021, Bill C-5 made September 30th the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. As Canada’s first statutory holiday dedicated to commemorating First Nations, Inuit and Métis Survivors of the Residential and Day School System, September 30th is a day to promote education, empower Indigenous voices, and work towards Reconciliation for a better future.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation also stands for Indigenous Remembrance, as all too often Indigenous histories are obscured and ignored in the cultural heritage of Canada. By telling the whole history of the colonization of Indigenous Peoples, the Residential and Day School systems, the Sixties Scoop, and other oppressive institutions, this project provides vital resources that promote public discussions about Reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples, Canada, and Canadians.

The Legacy of Hope Foundation acknowledges the financial support of Museums Assistance Program Canada on our September 30th project, launching in September 2023.
