About Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2025
In honour of the fifth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR), APTN, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, CBC/Radio-Canada and the Algonquin Nation have united to produce a 90-minute multilingual commemorative gathering entitled Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This special program 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. The gathering will encompass powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors as well as moving performances by First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists.
The gathering will broadcast live on APTN and APTN Languages — as well as on partnering Canadian broadcasters — to reach as many viewers as possible. Tune in and join us on our collective journey towards reconciliation.
