National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Saturday, September 29 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is also Orange Shirt Day.  It is important that we all do our part to advance Truth and Reconciliation at Mohawk College and in our communities. Please to take some time over the next few days to listen and to learn.
