It’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡

This day honours the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. It`s important to listen to Indigenous voices and learn about how the impacts still affect Indigenous communities today. #NDTC #everychildmatters
