Canada marks the fourth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation today. The day is a time to honour and remember Indigenous children who died at residential schools, the survivors, their families and communities.

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 in Canada became official in 2021.

A key event being held in Edmonton is the fourth annual Orange Shirt Day Run/Walk Every Child Matters, which is a run/walk in support and awareness of those who did not survive the residential school era and those who did. This event aims to raise funds for local grassroots organizations, Orangeshirtday.org, and support Indigenous athletes.
