National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30 is a national statutory holiday in honour of Indigenous children and survivors across Canada who were taken from their families and forced to attend residential schools. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on and commemorate the painful legacy and impact of residential schools. These children are Le Estcwicwéy̓ (pronounced “le squeak-way,” which translates to “the missing” in the language of the Tk‘emlúpsemc people in British Columbia.).
