To mark Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30th, NTS mandated the Centre for Arts and Social Innovation team to create a calendar that proposes different ways of listening to and acknowledging the truth and experiences of Indigenous individuals and communities, which were shared throughout the days leading up to September 30th and are compiled here by theme.

Together, let us honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, their families and their communities.
