In June, the Federal Government announced that September 30th will be a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Province will also be marking September 30th as a day “to commemorate the history and ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and to honour those who were lost and the survivors, families and communities who continue to grieve.” The full announcement can be found here.
Further to Government’s announcement, all schools and facilities in the Burnaby School District will be closed on September 30th.
