BTPS Recognizes National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Buffalo Trail Public Schools has made a remarkable commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th provides a time for Canadians to reflect on where we are today, as well as where we want to be in the future. September 30th has been established as a holiday in order “to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools.”
Together, BTPS will build on this past year of collective learning. There will be division wide learning opportunities for all BTPS students on Wednesday, September 28th. We will wear our orange shirts on this day to raise awareness of the impacts of residential schools, honour the children who did not return home, honour the survivors, and promote the core concept that “Every Child Matters”.
There is no school on Friday, September 30th. Buffalo Trail Public Schools is committed to honouring and respecting Truth and Reconciliation.
