On September 30, the Bernard Betel Centre joins Canadians in observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day honours the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Observed as Orange Shirt Day, it’s a reminder of the powerful message: Every Child Matters.
