True North reflects on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, we reflect on the tragic history of residential schools and their continued impact on our country.
TNSE staff wear orange shirts to honour the survivors and their families, but also the thousands who did not return home.
We are proud to have partnered with the First Nations Family Advocate Office on custom orange shirts. For more information on the work of the FNFAO, visit
