National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
September 30, 2026
Today we recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
This day honours Residential School Survivors, the children who never returned home, and their families and communities. It is a time to reflect on the lasting impacts of Residential Schools, listen to Indigenous voices and experiences, and consider our shared responsibility in advancing reconciliation.

These opportunities support our ongoing commitment to learning, building respectful relationships, and advancing meaningful reconciliation.

As a Canadian company, we take time to reflect and to renew our commitment to learning what reconciliation means to those affected by residential schools so we can better understand their truth
