National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Held every Sept. 30 in Canada, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation honours the survivors of the residential school system, the children who never returned home, and their families and communities. Sept. 30 is also Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative that sheds a light on the multigenerational impact of residential schools and asserts that Every Child Matters.

At Enbridge, we believe we can, and should, be a leader in our industry in Indigenous engagement, inclusion, and awareness. Our Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan (IRAP) continues our long-held commitment to strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities across North America.
