September 30th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day

Dear Joyceville Community,

As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on September 30th, we are reminded of our responsibility to engage intentionally in learning about the Residential School System and the true history of relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in what is currently known as Canada. This is a day to honour the children who never returned home, to stand with Survivors, and to commit to reconciliation in our classrooms and communities.

We encourage all students to wear orange on the 30th to remind us all of our shared commitment to reconciliation.
