National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is a day to learn about Indigenous history, honor residential school survivors, those who did not come home, and their families, and reflect on our own path towards reconciliation. It is important that we include young people in these discussions and educate them on the importance of reconciliation using language they can understand.

There are many local agencies offering activities and resources to honor the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation including: the Nistawoyou Association Friendship Centre, the Wood Buffalo Regional Library, and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Below are some resources that you can utilize at home.
