The 4th annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, observed on September 30, 2024, is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the survivors of Canada’s residential school system, as well as the Indigenous children who never returned home. It also aims to reflect on the lasting trauma experienced by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities due to these colonial practices. This day serves as a call for action toward reconciliation and greater recognition of Indigenous rights and culture in Canada.

One of the central aspects of this day is the wearing of orange shirts, symbolizing solidarity with Indigenous communities and the commitment to learning about the legacy of residential schools. Across the country, numerous events, including ceremonies, cultural programs, and educational gatherings, are held to encourage Canadians to engage in meaningful dialogue and reflection.

In Ottawa, for example, Parliament Hill will be illuminated in orange, and a national commemorative gathering will be broadcast to honor the survivors and remember those lost. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation also hosts educational programs throughout the week leading up to the day, aimed at promoting understanding and engagement with Indigenous history and the ongoing reconciliation process.
