Five years ago, Canada marked the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – a day to honour Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools, remember those who never returned home, and recognize the survivors, families and communities who continue to carry their experiences and stories.
In Manitoba, September 30 is also Orange Shirt Day — a time to listen, reflect and remember that every child matters.
Across the province, the mining industry marked the occasion by hosting events, sharing resources with employees and taking part in activities that support learning, reflection and community connection.
