“National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (also known as Orange Shirt Day) is on September 30, 2022. The Government of Canada declared September 30 as a federal statutory holiday... The holiday recognizes and remembers the tragic history and honours the survivors of residential schools. These schools were underfunded and inflicted abuse on children leaving long-lasting impacts. It’s also an important day for all Canadians to learn about Canada’s Indigenous history” (Usmani, 2022).

Origin of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

“Since its founding in 2013, Orange Shirt Day has helped Canadians learn about past mistakes and remember the legacy of residential schools. More than that, it symbolizes how Canadians are striving for a future where all Indigenous people have equal rights" (Usmani, 2022).
