September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, and the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Starting in 2021, this date commemorates survivors, those lost, and those suffering because of the residential school system. Understanding this legacy is important for reconciliation.

In our branches, staff are wearing orange shirts and we will observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. Scan an in-branch poster to learn more about colonization, truth, and reconciliation. KFPL is committed to the process of active reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and responding to calls to action. Please visit our Truth and Reconciliation website to learn more about KFPL's work.

There is a sacred fire at Confederation Park until 7 p.m. today, and a YouTube livestream of Remember Me: A National Day of Remembrance.
