Saturday marks the third National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and the 10th Orange Shirt Day. People across Quebec will gather for marches and other events honouring residential school survivors and commemorating the effects, past and present, of those institutions.
Sept. 30 is designated to honour Indigenous children lost to Canada's residential school system, and a time to acknowledge the profound impacts that are still felt to this day.
