Event Overview The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day is observed annually on September 30th, to educate and remind Canadians about the history of Residential Schools. On this day we memorialize the children lost to the residential school system and honour Survivors, their families, and their communities.
