TREATY 1 TERRITORY, WINNIPEG, Man. — APTN and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation will unite once again on September 30 at 1 p.m. ET to co-host Remembering the Children, a commemorative gathering in honour of the third annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The 90-minute multilingual commemoration will be broadcast live across the country from Parliament Hill, on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

This event seeks to honour Survivors, pay tribute to the children who never made it home from residential schools, and deliver a safe and nurturing environment for reconciliation and healing. This year’s gathering will encompass sacred ceremonies, powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors and moving performances by First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists. 

The live broadcast will be made available to all Canadian broadcasters to ensure that audiences across the country can tune in and join us on the collective journey towards reconciliation. More information and a full list of participating broadcasters will be shared in the coming weeks. 

Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation would not be possible without the support of the Government of Canada.
