This week has been named National Truth and Reconciliation Week. This year, we will have the first ever National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Thursday, September 30th. It is a new federal statutory holiday. The day honours the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. There will be NO CLASSES (morning and afternoon) on Thursday, September 30th. The Multicultural Council (MCC) of Windsor and Essex County will also be CLOSED that day.
