National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 23, 2025

On September 30, the College joins with Nova Scotians in observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day honours the children who never returned home and the Survivors of residential schools, along with their families and communities. It is a time for reflection, remembrance, and a renewed commitment to reconciliation.

The College acknowledges that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors.
