Tomorrow marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to recognize the intergenerational harm caused by the residential school system that continues to impact Indigenous families and communities. There will be a commemorative gathering on Parliament Hill from 1:00 – 2:30pm. We encourage members to wear orange shirts and participate. Those interested can join CUASA and the Ottawa and District Labour Council (ODLC); we will be meeting outside the Labour Council office (280 Metcalfe Street) at 12:30pm and walking together to Parliament Hill.
