Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children, Survivors, families and communities impacted by the residential school system.
We also recognize the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans who served Canada with courage and dedication.
May today be a time to remember, reflect and continue moving forward together in the spirit of reconciliation.
