The Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage, launched a call for proposals for community-based commemoration activities for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on September 30, 2022.

These initiatives will honour the children who never returned home, as well as Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. They will also offer opportunities for all Canadians to observe and commemorate this important day.

Eligible organizations, from coast to coast to coast, are encouraged to submit proposals for community-based projects to commemorate NDTR in their own communities. Canadian Heritage will help support initiatives with funding up to a maximum of $10,000 per project.

The application period is underway and will close on April 11, 2022. Additional information and application guidelines are available on the website.
