On September 30, the New Frontiers School Board will acknowledge the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and participate in Orange Shirt Day.
The Government of Canada has set September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a federally-recognized day to honour the lost children and survivors of the residential schools, their families, and communities.
Across the New Frontiers School Board, we will continue to educate our communities, and support our Indigenous students and families. We will also ensure that these conversations continue beyond September 30.
In addition to observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, NFSB will continue to participate in Orange Shirt Day on September 30, to honour residential school survivors, those who did not survive, and their descendants.
We invite students, staff and families to wear orange, whether it is a shirt, pin, ribbon, bracelet, socks, etc., and engage in meaningful conversation to come together and recognize past transgressions towards Indigenous people.
