National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is Wednesday, September 30, 2026 (No Classes (PP-12) / All Schools)
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation provides an important learning opportunity for all of us in the education system to take time to pause and reflect; and have important conversations about our shared history and the generational harm caused by residential schools, including here in Nova Scotia.

Let’s all come together on our journey to reconciliation to support inclusive and safe school environments for everyone.

We are all Treaty People. Every Child Matters.
