The Town of Stony Plain is committed to reconciliation and ensuring that the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools is never forgotten. 

September 30 has been declared the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day provides an opportunity for each citizen in Canada to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools. This may present itself as a day of quiet reflection or participation in a community event.

September 30, 2024 

Join community members to commemorate Truth and Reconciliation. 

Wear your orange shirt to work.

All are welcome to join the day's event at no cost.

Join us on September 30 for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation at Heritage Park from 11 AM to 2 PM. Join us for a day of listening, reflection, action, and connection. Learn from the wisdom of an elder and feel the healing power of Indigenous drumming and dancing for this day of healing. Opening remarks and drumming at approximately 11:05 AM, with a feast open to all, then dancing demonstrations around 12:15 PM.
