Premier R.J. Simpson issues statement commemorating National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Premier R.J. Simpson issued the following statement for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation:

“Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour the Dene, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as the survivors, their families, and communities. Today is a reminder of a painful chapter in our history—one we must never forget and from which we must continue to learn.
