Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day dedicated to honouring Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities.

This day asks Canadians to recognize and reflect on the lasting impacts of Canada’s Residential School system, and the 140 federally run schools that operated between 1867 and 1996.

Unsure of where to begin? The Patrick Power Library has resources (such as books and articles) written by survivors and those effected. Truth & Reconciliation buttons are also available for pick-up at the Activity Table.

We are open today from 11am to 7pm.
