On September 30th, also known as Truth and Reconciliation Day (TRD), we invite all union members to take time to remember the victims and survivors of residential schools. This day was proclaimed a statutory holiday by the Federal Government in 2021. At last, thanks to indigenous activism, public pressure, grievances made by CUPE locals and more, the New Brunswick government just proclaimed it a statutory holiday.
