THE FOURTH ANNUAL NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WILL BE COMMEMORATED ON PARLIAMENT HILL AND BROADCAST NATIONALLY on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
The 90-minute live national broadcast of “Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation” will begin at noon PDT (3 p.m. EDT). The event is being produced by the Algonquin Nation in collaboration with APTN, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and CBC/Radio-Canada.
From the Centre’s website:
This special program seeks to honour Survivors, pay tribute to the children who never made it home from residential schools, and deliver a safe and nurturing environment for reconciliation and healing.
This year’s gathering will encompass powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors as well as moving performances by First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists.
The gathering will be broadcast live on all APTN channels and partnering Canadian broadcasters to reach as many viewers as possible. Tune in and join us on our collective journey towards reconciliation.
