A monument to honour residential school survivors was unveiled in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square on Monday, one of dozens of events in Ontario marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Since the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a federal statutory holiday, Government of Canada offices and buildings will be closed. This includes services like Canada Post, the Canada Revenue Agency, passport offices and Service Canada.

TORONTO — Ontario’s only First Nation representative at Queen’s Park plans to soon table proposed legislation, in his own Indigenous language, to have the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation declared a paid provincial holiday. The day is a federal statutory holiday, but not a provincial one in Ontario.
