Mayor Tory addressed City Council with respect to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation observed on September 30th in the City of Toronto and across the country.  Mayor Tory remarked that the day was established to recognize the ongoing trauma caused by the residential and day schools and to recognize those who were lost, survivors, their families and communities.  Mayor Tory noted that it was also a day to recognize the broader injustices on a broader scale and to commit to doing better to act in a manner consistent with values shared with the indigenous community as well as all Torontonians.  Mayor Tory observed that National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is day to commemorate each year from this year forward, it is a day that indigenous community members advocated for and the decision to establish the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was the right thing to do. Mayor Tory stated that after a very tragic summer with the discovery of unmarked graves, we were all reminded of a hard truth of those parts of Canada's history that were shameful, and this Day was an important additional step in acknowledging that part of Canada's history.  Mayor Tory commented that by having to acknowledge Canada's history, we can continue to move forward together and take tangible action to support indigenous communities and to ensure that we are doing everything we can as a City to make that happen. Mayor Tory noted that he was encouraged by the engagement that happened with people coming out to the events to acknowledge the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.  Mayor Tory advised Members that at the event at Evergreen Brickworks, he was incredibly moved by what he had heard from survivors of the residential school and day school system.  Mayor Tory spoke of the grace, patience and strength shown by those survivors who shared their experiences as part of the residential school and day school system.  Mayor Tory, on behalf of Members of Council and the Toronto Public Service, pledged that the City would do better and that the City is already trying to do better.  Mayor Tory acknowledged the work done by the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee to help us forge the right path.  Mayor Tory noted that Toronto is home to thousands of indigenous people who themselves are impacted, either directly or indirectly, by the residential school and day school system.  Mayor Tory, on behalf of the City, said that our thoughts are with the survivors of the residential school and day school system who live with the tragic consequences of that history each day and every day and the families and communities of those children who never came home.  Mayor Tory advised that the City's commemoration on September 30th was guided by consultations with indigenous leaders, the community and City staff, and was a great day for public education.  Mayor Tory thanked everyone involved in bringing people together.  Mayor Tory spoke of the Spirit Garden that will be located at Nathan Phillips Square and what an important place it will be to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in the future.  Mayor Tory encouraged Members to work together and said he looked forward to seeing other work come to fruition such as the Healing Lodge in Scarborough.  Mayor Tory committed that we will stand by our fellow residents who are indigenous and do what is right.
