Truth and Reconciliation Day 2023: How to participate in and around Edmonton

There are a number of ways Edmontonians and those around the capital city can participate in National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this year.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coincides with Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative to raise awareness of the impacts of residential schools.
