National Day for Truth & Reconciliation – September 30

Join the Manitoba Children’s Museum on Monday, September 30th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for a day dedicated to reflection and education on the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. This day honors the survivors of residential schools and their families, and it’s a time for all Canadians to learn and reflect on this important part of our history.

The museum will offer free admission throughout the day, featuring special programming and activities focused on the legacy of residential schools. Families can participate in educational workshops, listen to guest speakers, and engage in meaningful crafts and activities. Wearing an orange shirt is encouraged to show support and remembrance for the children affected by residential schools.

  • Interactive Activities: Get creative and learn with fun activities both inside and outside the museum.
  • Family-Friendly: Perfect for kids of all ages!
