Today, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize the harm inflicted on Indigenous Peoples by the Canadian residential school system. We encourage you to take time to learn more about the impact that residential schools, and colonization, have on Indigenous communities. #NDTR2025

Tomorrow, September 30, is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On our campus, the Office of Indigenous Relations will host a number of activities to mark the day. We encourage you to participate in whatever way you're able. Visit uwaterloo.ca/indigenous for details.

Tomorrow, as part of The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, many will wear orange to honour the countless children and communities impacted by the residential school system. Surrounding our logo in orange is a way to have Renison "wear" orange. #NDTR2025
