September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors, and the many Indigenous families and communities who continue to experience intergenerational trauma and the ongoing impacts of residential schools. It is also a time for continued learning, reflection, and renewed commitment to meaningful action toward reconciliation in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
Please note that our office is closed to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30. We will reopen on October 1.
Thank you.

The Committee recently reviewed 15 deaths from intimate partner violence or domestic violence with the aim of reducing the risk of harm to those who experience or who are at risk of domestic violence and intimate partner violence.
