Na-Me-Res, Toronto’s non-profit Indigenous organization, hosts its third annual Day of Remembrance gathering at Hillcrest Park on Monday, September 30th, to commemorate National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This community gathering will feature a sunrise ceremony, sacred fire, traditional drumming, and speeches that will honor the victims, survivors, and families impacted by residential schools in Canada and reignite calls for action on reconciliation.

The Sunrise ceremony is a free-to-attend community event, open to everyone seeking to reflect on, honor, and better understand the diverse history of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people.
