加拿大政府已宣布将9月30日星期四定为真相与和解国家日。这个联邦国家日是对真相与和解委员会行动号召80的直接回应。这一天的目的是认可和尊重住宅学校幸存者、他们的家庭和社群。它还将确保公众对住宅学校悲惨而痛苦的历史和遗产的纪念仍然是和解进程的一个重要组成部分。

2021年-2022年的学年中，9月30日星期四将是卡尔加里教育委员会全面停工的一天，以纪念真相与和解。CBE鼓励所有学校在2021年9月27日至10月1日期间认识真相与和解周。这一周将纪念在乎每个孩子和橙衫日，可能包括每个学校选择穿橙衣的一天。

真相与和解国家中心将在9月27日至10月1日期间举办对所有人开放的虚拟活动。

​​The Government of Canada has proclaimed Thursday, Sept. 30 as the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. This federal national day directly responds to the Truth & Reconciliation Commissions Call to Action #80. The intention of the day is to recognize and honour residential school survivors, their families and communities. It will also ensure that public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.

For the 2021-22 school year, Thursday, Sept. 30 with be a non-operational day to commemorate truth and reconciliation across the Calgary Board of Education. The CBE encourages all schools to recognize Truth and Reconciliation Week from Sept. 27 - Oct. 1, 2021. This week will honour Every Child Matters and Orange Shirt Day and may include a day chosen by each school to wear orange.
