Events to Commemorate National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We acknowledge and reflect upon the history and experiences of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity to increase awareness, promote understanding, and support reconciliation.

There are many events across BC to commemorate National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Province of BC has published BC Event Listings for Orange Shirt Day/ National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2023.

Our team regularly visits communities across BC as part of our work for both the First Nations Recycling Initiative and Recycle BC. We embrace the importance of reconciliation and express gratitude to the communities and cultures that welcome us.

We invite you to join the Recycle BC team in reflection on September 30, and every day, to continue on the path to reconciliation.

We are grateful to live, work, and be in relation with First Nation and other Indigenous people from across many traditional and unceded territories, covering all regions of British Columbia. We value the opportunity to learn and share experiences on this traditional territory. The Indigenous communities were the original stewards of the environment, and they continue to fulfill that role today. We are proud to both collaborate with First Nations as well as commit to that work ourselves.
