The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a statutory holiday for employees in the federal government and federally regulated workplaces in Canada on September 30th.
The day is intended to educate and remind Canadians about the history of residential schools, honour the victims, and celebrate the survivors.
Nova Scotia says government offices, public schools and regulated childcare will be closed on Sept. 30 in recognition of Truth and Reconciliation Day, the newest statutory holiday. Businesses will have the choice, as they do on other occasions, to remain open.
