Tomorrow, September 30, is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On our campus, the Office of Indigenous Relations will host a number of activities to mark the day. We encourage you to participate in whatever way you're able. Visit uwaterloo.ca/indigenous for details.

Tomorrow, as part of The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, many will wear orange to honour the countless children and communities impacted by the residential school system. Surrounding our logo in orange is a way to have Renison "wear" orange.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples' Day. We celebrate Indigenous community members.

Let's reflect on the ways we participate in reconciliation—from taking part in the Moose Hide Campaign Day, to walking alongside our UW community for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
