USask Spotlight

Shining a spotlight on important initiatives, events and featured stories from across campus.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Remembering and honouring residential school survivors and their families. 

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.
