September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

On this day we honour the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.

The University of Waterloo and the Office of Indigenous Relations continue to amplify that truth as we build towards reconciliation. We will also highlight the beauty and resilience of indigeneity, and the strengthening of bonds with allies as we navigate this complex and meaningful day.
