Today, the NLMA would like to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. This day is a time for reflection, learning, and commitment to reconciliation.

We encourage everyone to wear orange and take part in local events that recognize this important day. If you're in St. John's, First Light is hosting the Rally for Reconciliation at the Confederation Building at 2:00 p.m.
