Survey for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

Written By South Asian Legal Clinic of British Columbia

The Province is seeking input from B.C. employers and employees on whether the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (September 30) should be designated a provincial statutory holiday under the Employment Standards Act, starting in 2023.

Currently, only two provinces in Canada honour the day as a designated provincial statutory holiday.

What is National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Day?

“The day commemorates the history and legacy of the residential school system honours the resilience, dignity, and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors and remembers that children never came home.” (Gov BC).
