The Hill Times
The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation—also commemorated as Orange Shirt Day—was observed for the third year on Sept. 30. For some Canadians, this may be a controversial holiday. However, I believe that anyone could see its importance if every resident of Canada took a moment to consider how this day, and the reason for it, affects Indigenous people in Canada. Francyne D. Joe is director at large at Equal Voice.
” For Canadians to really understand what this day means, we need to take a moment to educate ourselves, to acknowledge the harms inflicted, to atone for the causes, and to act meaningfully and with sincerity to change for the better. At Equal Voice, we support all women in politics of all levels—be it the school parent advisory council, the local chief and council, the mayor and council, or provincial or federal politics.
