September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region recognizes the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools and remembers and honours the survivors, their families, and communities. ⁠

We invite our volunteers, supporters, and all Canadians to observe this day by participating in activities and education related to Truth and Reconciliation, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.
