Established in Canada in 2021, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is dedicated to honouring the Indigenous survivors of residential schools, those who never came home, their families and communities. It serves as a time of reflection, education, and commitment to reconciliation.
“On September 30th, we at Providence Research encourage all our staff to engage in meaningful conversations about truth, healing, and the steps necessary to foster a more equitable society,” says Dr. Darryl Knight, President of Providence Research.
This year, our theme is ReconciliACTION — moving beyond reflection into the tangible actions that carry truth and reconciliation forward.
“On this day, and every day, I honour survivors and their families. I am thinking of my own family today, and I draw strength from their resilience and courage. It is this strength that guides our work, fuels our resolve, and gives us the good energy we need to carry forward the system-changing action we are undertaking together,” says Harmony Johnson, Vice President, Indigenous Wellness and Reconciliation, PHC.

On this day, Providence Research seeks to promote awareness and understanding of Indigenous issues, while supporting the journey toward healing and justice. We hope you will take a few moments to review the resources below.
