Truth and Reconciliation Day Events Happening September 27-28

Written by Alexander College in School News on September 27, 2023

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a Canadian holiday that was first established in 2013, when it was known as Orange Shirt Day. This holiday is meant to bring awareness of the tragic legacy of the Canadian residential school system, the consequences of which still impacts Indigenous communities to this day.

As an institution for learning, Alexander College is hosting events that promote Indigenous culture and history. Join us on September 27 and 28 where we learn how to make a traditional Indigenous dish, watch a movie co-directed and starring an Indigenous filmmaker, and host a presentation about the history of residential schools in Canada.
