Upper Canada District School Board schools are preparing for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on Wednesday.
Students will take part in classroom activities, learning opportunities and reflection as schools recognize the importance of the day and continue learning about Indigenous experiences and history.
Students in Grades 5 through 12 will also have the opportunity to take part in a virtual presentation featuring Tammy and Bernard Nelson. The presentation will include Indigenous teachings, cultural knowledge and lived experiences.
The school board says the activities and resources are designed to support learning and reflection among students and staff.
Orange Shirt Day is held each year on September 30th and encourages Canadians to recognize the experiences of residential school survivors and the ongoing importance of reconciliation.
