In 2021, the federal government announced September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day to honour the survivors and victims of the residential school system, as well as their families and communities.
For federally regulated businesses, September 30 is a paid holiday; however, the situation varies among the provinces and territories.
