Truth and Reconciliation Day resources

September 30, 2025

ASC encourages everyone in sport to take time today to learn from Indigenous-led resources and consider what they can change in their own organizations:

• National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation - Survivor testimony, records and learning resources.
• Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action - Read all 94 Calls to Action, including Calls 87 to 91 on sport
• Indigenous voices on reconciliation - First Nations, Inuit and Métis storytellers share personal stories of culture, resilience, and hope. Their unique perspectives invite reflection on Canada's past and our collective journey toward reconciliation.
• Orange Shirt Society - Learn how the orange shirt has become a symbol of hope, reconciliation and a commitment to a better future.
• The Spirit of Sport - Active Together - The National Strategy and its priorities for change across sport, physical activity and recreation.

Support is available. A National Residential School Crisis Line is available to provide support to former Residential School students and their families. You can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the free of charge 24-Hour National Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

Indigenous peoples across Canada can also connect with The Hope for Wellness Help Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for counselling and crisis intervention. Call the toll-free help line at 1-855-242-3310 or connect to the online chat.
