Truth and Reconciliation Day 2024: Events, closures across the Fraser Valley
Canada acknowledges the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Monday (Sept. 30), and for many in several provinces, including B.C., it will be a day off.
The occasion promotes awareness of the residential school system and its impact on Indigenous communities for over a century.
Orange Shirt Day coincides with Truth and Reconciliation Day and also raises awareness of those impacted by residential schools.
Several Fraser Valley municipalities and businesses will be observing Monday, which means there will be special events in some regions and service closures.
