Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour residential school Survivors and remember the children who never returned home, their families, and their communities.

We encourage everyone to take time to listen to Indigenous voices, learn, and reflect on how we can support reconciliation today and throughout the year.

The N2M2L office is closed today, September 30, and will reopen tomorrow, October 1.
