The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is right around the corner for Toronto , alongside the rest of the country, marking a day of remembrance for residential school survivors and victims.
The holiday is an important one for reflecting on the painful legacy these institutions have left on Indigenous individuals and their families and the way they continue to today.While the holiday was officially federally recognized in Canada back in 2021, only four provinces and territories — British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon — currently recognize it as a statutory holiday.
As such, in Ontario, many services and sectors will continue to operate business as usual this Monday, Sept. 30, for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, while others may opt to close down to observe the holiday.Some restaurants will opt to stay closed in observance of the holiday. It's best to call ahead and confirm.Beer Store locations will be operating on regular hours.
