Monday will be Canada’s fourth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The federal holiday is held on September 30th each year and honours the victims, survivors, families and communities impacted by residential schools. It coincides with Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots event intended to raise awareness of the impacts of residential schools.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a statutory holiday for federally regulated industries in Canada. In Ontario, the provincial government has not deemed the day a statutory holiday. That means the stat only applies to federally regulated industries in the province, including federal government employees.
Workers in most other industries in Ontario will have a normal work day, unless their employer has decided to give them the day off or it has been negotiated into collective agreements or employment contracts.
