There will be lots of ways you can honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Oxford County.

OXFORD COUNTY – It’s time to understand the truth, and actively work towards reconciliation.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is coming up on Monday September 30th. It recognizes those who were impacted by the residential school system in Canada and the 60s Millennial Scoops, where large numbers of Indigenous children were brought into the child welfare system.

Patricia Marshal is the Founder and the Director of the Indigenous, Solidarity and Awareness Network for Oxford County, also known as ISAN Oxford. She says residential schools have impacted Canada for over 150 years and 150,000 children were taken into the system, with many of them never returning home.
