National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation commemorates the survivors and victims of residential schools, their families and communities. The first observance of a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was held on September 30, 2021, following the identification of unmarked burials at former Indian Residential School sites.

Recognizing this day was one of the first steps in a long journey toward understanding and meaningful reconciliation. Kingsville encourages you to help spread a wave of orange across our Town in solidarity with this journey. To recognize the event, wear an orange shirt, tie orange ribbons around your trees, and light your home with orange lights.

Orange Shirt Walk

On Monday, September 30, 2024, the Town of Kingsville is hosting an Orange Shirt Walk down Jasperson Drive. The walk begins at the Kingsville Recreation Complex at Baseball Diamond 5. We invite everyone to meet us at noon at the Kingsville Recreation Complex Baseball Diamond 5 for opening remarks, followed by a group walk from Jasperson Lane to Road 2 East and down Jasperson Drive. Help us spread a wave of orange through Town as we remember the survivors and victims of residential schools and their families.
