National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Destination Stratford acknowledges and is grateful to the original stewards of this land, Haudenosaunee/People of the Longhouse, and more recently Anishinaabe Peoples; and we acknowledge the immeasurable contributions of the Métis and Inuit, and all First Nations.

We honour the regenerative thinking of the Indigenous Peoples of this and other lands. Their perspectives are holistic, integrated and reverent towards all life, including Mother Earth and everything that inhabits her. With our planning and the actions that flow from it, we hope to draw on the wisdom at the heart of Indigenous worldviews and traditional methods.

Our work carries our humility, hope and desire that our actions will contribute to healing and strengthening our relationships.

National Day For Truth and Reconciliation is dedicated to acknowledging and honouring the lived experience and generational trauma of Indigenous Peoples throughout history and today. We stand with Indigenous Communities, acknowledging the pain of our shared history and committing to reconciliation, healing, and an equitable future.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will be observed Wednesday, September 30, 2026, to honour residential school survivors. Community members are encouraged to wear orange and participate in educational events and opportunities to listen, learn, and unpack further the legacy of colonialism that shapes what is now known as Canada.

For further details and educational resources, please refer to the Stratford Public Library’s page here.

If you are a Survivor and need support, the national crisis line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week 1-866-925-4419.
