Honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 26, 2025

This Tuesday, September 30 marks the fifth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day where Canadians reflect upon the experiences and history of First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities in Canada. It is a day to acknowledge, reflect and learn about the injustices they faced through the residential school system and the ways it continues to affect Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

 

To honour this day, the flags at all City of Ottawa sites will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise on Tuesday, September 30 to sunrise on Wednesday, October 1.  At City Hall, in front of the Heritage Building and on Marion Dewar Plaza, the Survivors’ Flag will also be flown at half-mast from sunrise on September 30 to sunrise on October 1.

 

Illuminations in orange are also planned for the Heritage Building at Ottawa City Hall and the OTTAWA sign in the ByWard Market.

J.R. (Jim) Miller was a foundational figure among Canadian historians. His major works, a series of deeply researched books about the complicated relationships between Canada’s settlers and Indigenous people, set a standard for his profession and educated Canadians about overlooked aspects of their history.“He made an excellent contribution to Indigenous-settler relations before anyone called it that,” said Onondaga scholar David Newhouse, a professor emeritus and inaugural director of the Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies at Trent University, in Peterborough, Ont.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating trade talks with Canada, citing a recent Ontario government anti-tariff ad featuring late Republican president Ronald Reagan.In a late-night post to Truth Social on Thursday, Mr. Trump referenced the advertisement which Ontario launched last week and said the Ronald Reagan Foundation announced that the advertisement is “fake.” He wrongly claimed the ad cost $75,000, but Ontario has said it is spending $75-million on the campaign.
