Municipality of Inverness County Proclaims September 30 as Truth and Reconciliation Day

At the September 18^th Committee of the Whole Meeting, Warden Bonny MacIsaac officially proclaimed September 30, 2025, as Truth and Reconciliation Day in Inverness County.

This day honours the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. It also recognizes the ongoing impacts of residential schools and the importance of advancing reconciliation 365 days a year.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, is a time to reflect on the history of residential schools, to listen to the experiences of Survivors, and to affirm that “Every Child Matters.”

The Municipality encourages residents to take time on September 30 to learn, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, including the Mi’kmaq, whose traditional and unceded territory we share.
