On Friday, Canada will mark the┬аsecond annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to remember┬аchildren who died while being forced to attend church-run and government-funded residential schools, those who survived and made it home, and the families and communities still affected by the lasting trauma.
CBC┬аhas an extensive lineup of Indigenous-led original programming showcasing First Nations, M├йtis and Inuit perspectives and experiences across┬аall platforms, including a live special.
Here’s how to follow the events on all CBC platforms:
- A one-hour commemoration ceremony in Ottawa┬аwill begin at 1 p.m. ET. This special event honours residential school survivors, their families┬аand their communities, and includes┬аa commemorative program from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation┬аin association with APTN.
- CBC News chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault will host special coverage of the events starting at 12:30 p.m. ET on CBC, CBC Gem, CBC News Network, CBCNews.ca and the CBC News App.
- On CBC Radio One and CBC Listen, Falen Johnson will host the live coverage, beginning at 1 p.m.
- CBC.ca will have regular updates and live stream the events.
