The Canadian Federation of Students and the Circle of First Nations, Metis & Inuit Students recognize September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to commemorate and honour Residential School survivors, families, and communities.

We’ve complied a few recommendations for ways to participate in below. However, we encourage you to do the work, to listen and learn from Indigenous people’s histories and experiences, today and every day. Reconciliation should not be something we address solely on July 21 or September 30. It is an ongoing practice of reflection, unlearning, and participating in solidarity-based action.

What can you do?
🔸 Wear/Purchase an Orange Shirt from an business, artists, or organizations
🔸 Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action
🔸 Watch online events hosted by the NCTR
🔸 Donate to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS)
🔸 Educate yourself and the true history of so-called Canada

Celebrate, honour, and shine light on non-binary students, staff, and community members.
