National Day for Truth and Reconciliation recognizes the colonial legacy of residential schools, honours Indigenous survivors, and is a vital step in the continuing process of reconciliation.

In the spirit of marking this important date, we wanted to provide resources to learn more about Truth and Reconciliation while also amplifying some of the Indigenous voices within our community.

Former Residential School students can call 1-866-925-4419 for emotional crisis referral services and information on other health supports from the Government of Canada.

Indigenous peoples across Canada can also go to The Hope for Wellness Help Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for counselling and crisis intervention. Call the toll-free Help Line at 1-855-242-3310 or connect to the online chat at hopeforwellness.ca.
