Today, September 30, we observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR). NDTR honours the children who never made it home and the Survivors of residential schools. It also raises awareness about the intergenerational impacts these experiences continue to have on their families and communities. This day was originally recognized as #OrangeShirtDay, an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative inspired by the experiences of residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad. 🧡 Flags are lowered today at Alumni Circle in observance of #NDTR, and the #WesternMustangs will be illuminating Western Alumni Stadium in orange to recognize this important day. While NDTR is observed annually on one day, the work of Truth and Reconciliation must be embraced daily to foster meaningful and lasting change.
