Every year on Sept. 30, commemorative events are held to remember the Indigenous children who died while being forced to attend residential schools, those who survived and the families and communities who are still affected by the lasting trauma.

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day is also recognized as Orange Shirt Day. West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) acknowledges those who were lost and those who survived residential schools,

Memorials abound on the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and in parts of the United States on Monday, Sept. 30. The federal holiday became official in 2021. Even the Canadian Football League is honoring the children who passed away in boarding schools as a way to never forget the horrors done to Native peoples during colonialism.

A National Day for Truth and Reconciliation ceremony is planned in Ottawa this afternoon to honour the survivors of Canada's residential school system and the children who never returned home.

Monday is Canada's fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and there are a number of events planned in Waterloo region, Guelph and Wellington County over the weekend and on Monday to mark it.
