The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was created as a statutory holiday to honour survivors, their families, and communities while ensuring the legacy of residential schools is recognized. Although a number of events were held across the city yesterday to commemorate the fourth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Edmonton-West Henday MLA Brooks Arcand-Paul says there's still much work to do towards healing and moving forward.

Brooks Arcand-Paul went on to say that "events like this help us get together and help non-Indigenous people show their support with Indigenous communities, but we're not seeing the support in the places that matter and governments aren't doing anything about it."
