June 2021, the Government of Canada recently passed legislation to make September 30th a federal statutory holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day is an important step in the reconciliation process. It provides an opportunity to recognize and commemorate the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and to honour their survivors, their families, and communities.
Designated as a paid holiday for federally regulated workers in the public and private sector, the PPWC acknowledges the significance of this day with a reminder to our members to honour this milestone with quiet reflection or to learn more about the First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples, you can start your journey here.
