WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is encouraging provinces and territories to step up reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples but stopped short of saying they should make the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, commonly called Or
Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson recently announced her Progressive Conservative government would not be making that day a provincial statutory holiday this year, citing the need for ongoing consultations.
The prime minister said the federal government has moved forward on"living up and fulfilling" that call. Orange Shirt Day falls on Sept. 30. It was established in honour of the experience of Phyllis Webstab, whose gift of clothing from her grandmother was taken away on Webstad's first day at a residential school.
"As a result, Manitoba continues to mark Sept. 30 as a day of observance. Our government will continue to support community-led initiatives, programming and events to honour the lives lost, the survivors and their families, and move forward together to advance reconciliation." The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs said in a statement Wednesday that the province has missed a key opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to healing and recognizing First Nations people.
