Apply to be a virtual or in-person presenter on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation at Sainte-Marie

The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is meant to honour Canada’s residential school survivors, and those who never came home, as well as their families and communities.

Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is committed to acknowledging and advocating for the empowerment of these stories through empathy, respect and understanding.  National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day for all Canadians to commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system. It’s a day to honour the resilience, dignity and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors.  

Sainte-Marie among the Hurons invites you to join us for a journey of self-reflection, observing, learning from, and connecting with Indigenous speakers and cultural specialists, in the spirit of education and awareness about the pathway to truth and reconciliation. 

You can join us in-person on the historic site for a day of commemoration, or you can connect with us online for free virtual learning.
