SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 -- The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education has proclaimed September 30, 2022 as Orange Shirt Day, and the Government of Canada has proclaimed it as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Even though schools will be closed on Friday, September 30th and Division Office will be closed to the public, students and staff will still participate in truth and reconciliation activities throughout this week. It is also a timely starting point in the school year for sharing Indigenous ways of knowing, learning from Elders and knowledge keepers, and engaging in land-based education.
