National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a time to 'read, acknowledge, understand,' says advocate

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a time to 'read, acknowledge, understand,' says advocate

WARNING: This story contains distressing details.

Thursday marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, a new federal statutory holiday to honour the lost children and survivors of residential schools as well as their families and communities.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation has launched a five-day virtual event with programming available for the general public. The centre has hundreds of educational resources available for anyone who wants to learn more about reconciliation, said executive director Stephanie Scott.

 "A really important first step is to read, acknowledge, understand," she said in an interview with The St. John's Morning Show this week.

The first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation comes just months after Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc reported the discovery of potential burials sites at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. The find prompted national mourning and ignited conversations about the legacy of residential schools.

Scott said the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity for those conversations to continue.

"It's a moment to reflect on the harms inflicted by colonialism and residential schools that were for a very long time out of sight and out of mind," Scott said. "This day is set aside to honour all the children who survived residential schools, as well as those that did not return."
