Books to Read in Honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Sept. 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, their families and their communities. It is also a day for reflection, learning and action. This booklist offers stories and resources that deepen our understanding of Canada’s colonial history, celebrate Indigenous voices and knowledge and encourage us all to engage with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
