National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Monday, September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) in Canada. The NDTR is a statutory day of remembrance for the federal government and federally regulated workplaces to honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis survivors, their families and communities, to support public commemoration of their history, and to ensure the legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.

As part of our Strategic Plan and our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, LSTAR encourages Members to learn more about this day and consider participating in an event, for awareness, education and reflection.

Members are also encouraged to wear orange on September 30th for Orange Shirt Day, a day to honour the thousands of children who survived residential schools and remember those who did not. Learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by clicking here.

Please be aware that Land Registry offices and Financial Institutions will be closed on Monday, September 30th. Members should be mindful of this when planning your closing dates and other contingent dates.

Also be advised that the offices of LSTAR will be closed on Monday, September 30th, but will be open as usual on Tuesday, October 1st.
