What's Open & Closed In Alberta For The 2022 National Day For Truth & Reconciliation
It's September 30.
Calgary.
Friday, September 30, marks the second annual National Day For Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.
The day was established in 2021 to honour "the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities," the Government of Canada said.
September 30 is a federal holiday which means federally-regulated institutions such as Canada Post and banks will be shut, but many malls and stores will still be open in Alberta.
Canadians are also encouraged to wear orange to symbolically honour survivors of residential schools.
