SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:New September 30th Statutory Holiday Day \nhttps://www.statutoryholidays.com/september30-holiday.php \nBeginning 2021 a new statutory holiday is held to commemorate the legacy of residential schools fulfilling one of many recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. \nThis is not a public holiday. Only federally regulated workplaces (such as the federal government\, banks\, post offices\, etc.) will be closed in order to observe this new holiday. \nIndigenous communities originally opposed to using September 30 because that’s when Orange Shirt Day is currently observed. Instead\, June 21 was considered as the alternate day\, which is currently the National Indigenous Peoples Day. This\, however\, is only ten days away from Canada Day and would make the two stat holidays too close together. \nAs this new holiday for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is on the last day of September it will have\, perhaps unexpected\, implications since no other holiday is on the last day of any month. Real estate purchase and sale closing dates could be affected according to the Canadian Real Estate Association and you should be aware that Canada Post\, air transportation and banks will be also closed\, disrupting public services on September 30. \n
