National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Posted On Wednesday September 25, 2024

On Monday September 30, many London-area grade seven and eight students from the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) will participate in a day of learning in collaboration with Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and the Wampum Learning Lodge at Western University, which includes a solo performance by JUNO award-winning artist William Prince.


Thames Valley is taking important steps to honour residential school survivors and remember those who did not make it home. The TVDSB Indigenous Education Portfolio has developed age-appropriate resources and lesson plans to support learning about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.


Thames Valley schools have developed programming for students of all ages to learn, reflect and recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
On Monday, September 30th, all TVDSB schools will lower their flags to half-mast and change their school signs to reflect a message about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Learning resources are available at: tvdsb.ca/EveryChildMatters
