The City of Brampton is observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on Sept. 30 with events that all residents and employees can attend to pay tribute, learn and reflect.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is on Monday.
Canada’s annual and Orange Shirt Day is a time of recognition, remembrance and respect for survivors of residential schools.
This day examines the legacy of residential schools, missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions. While officially recognized by the Canadian government in 2021, Sept. 30 was initially known as Orange Shirt Day. First observed in 2013, Orange Shirt Day was created as part of an effort to promote awareness and education of the impact of colonialism on Indigenous cultures and communities.

Monday, Sept. 30, is a federal statutory; however, not all provinces and territories, including Ontario, recognize it as one. Only British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon do so.
Private companies and organizations not federally regulated can decide whether to give employees the day off, which means some other businesses may close on Monday.
Here is a look at what will be open and closed on the weekend and Monday, including municipal services in Toronto, Durham Region, Halton Region, Hamilton, Peel Region, Waterloo Region and York Region.
