Week of Reflection and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an annual federal statutory holiday. 

The University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) decision to observe this holiday aligns with the university’s efforts toward reconciliation and decolonization. The university remains closed on Sept. 30, which coincides with Orange Shirt Day, so students, staff, and faculty can reflect on and participate in this day. 

The Week of Reflection takes place Sept. 23-27, 2024, and numerous events are taking place leading up to Sept. 30.
