On September 30th, 2023, the staff at Ontario Presents will observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. As a response to Call to Action 80 in the 94 Calls to Action, calling for a federal statutory day of commemoration, September 30th was established as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation—a day to honour and remember First Nations, Inuit, Métis and all residential school survivors, the children who never made it home, their families, and their communities.
Ontario Presents is committed to honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as we continue to meet the needs of the touring and performing arts sector.
On September 30th, we encourage you to find time to reflect and honour the Indigenous Peoples of your community.
