Events & Dates

The ‘National Day for Truth and Reconciliation’ “honours the Children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process” as one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action. 

We all share a collective responsibility to learn about Canadian history, as we work towards cultural restoration for Indigenous Peoples. We are all stewards of these Lands, and recognize that we must listen to and learn from Indigenous peoples during this time of healing.  Olds College of Agriculture & Technology follows the guidance of our Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers to advance reconciliation year-round.

As we continue to mourn for the Children that never returned home from residential schools, Olds College of Agriculture and Technology Indigenous Services invites residential school survivors to Campus to host Ceremonies (for the Children) and Talks for Staff, Students, and Faculty throughout the week of September 26-29.
