2025 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada developed 94 Calls to Action after hearing the stories from survivors and their families about the impacts of Indian Residential Schools.
Since 2013, Orange Shirt Day has been observed by Indigenous Peoples and their allies to honour the Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools in Canada. In 2021, the federal government passed legislative amendments that adhered to Call to Action #80, to establish Sept. 30 as an annual federal statutory day of commemoration known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Please note that the Law Society of Alberta and Alberta Lawyer’s Indemnity Association offices are closed on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025 to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
