which provinces recognize truth and reconciliation day

The provinces and territories in Canada that recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30) as a statutory holiday include British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Yukon. Additionally, federally regulated workers across Canada observe this holiday. Alberta recognizes the day with encouragement for ceremonies but without statutory holiday status, and Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec do not observe it as a statutory holiday at the provincial level. Nova Scotia also recognizes it as a provincial statutory holiday. This day honors the survivors and families affected by the Canadian Indian residential school system and is seen as an important day of remembrance and reconciliation.
