Still no plans to make Day for Truth and Reconciliation a stat holiday in Sask.
The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour is currently petitioning to make the day a holiday,“will provide working people with the opportunity to use the day to learn, quietly reflect, or participate in reconciliation events in their communities.
“I would hope that over time all these provinces would eventually see the importance of having this as a holiday so people can take that time to reflect and pause,” she said. Meanwhile, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy Lecturer Danette Starblanket says the focus should instead be on honouring truth and reconciliation every day.
