Truth and Reconciliation
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.
