Sept 30 No School, Day of Truth and Reconciliation
September 30th, 2021, marks Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and as such, Gilbert Paterson Middle School will not have classes on that day.
“A National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will ensure that our shared history will not be forgotten. Advancing reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis requires all Canadians to listen, learn and act.” — The Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations
Here at Paterson, students will also take the time to reflect on the past by observing Orange Shirt Day on September 29. All students will continue to reflect on the past, and plan our future truths together.
