September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – a time to learn and reflect on the history and lasting impacts of Indian Residential Schools in Canada. This day honours the Survivors, their families, and their communities.

Guided by respect, reciprocity, and self-determination, the School of Continuing Studies works in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to co-create culturally safe programs, to actively support equitable pathways to education, and meaningful institutional change. At SCS, the Indigenous Relations Initiative endeavours to advance reconciliation through inclusive, decolonized lifelong learning that centers Indigenous learners, knowledge systems, and communities.

To learn more about SCS’s commitment to its ongoing responsibility towards reconciliation, please refer to the Indigenous Relations Initiative’s Action Plan 2026-2030.
