Calls for the Day for Truth and Reconciliation to be a provincial holiday in Sask.
SFL said the Saskatchewan Party government had said it has no plans to legislate Sept. 30 as a provincial statutory holiday for all workers, but added many provinces and provincial organizations recognize the holiday.
“The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an important day for workers to be able to take the opportunity to learn, quietly reflect, or participate in reconciliation events in their communities,” Johb said. “The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour is committed to reconciliation and justice for Indigenous peoples. The provincial government must recognize the role they play in reconciliation and the importance of this day, and legislate September 30 as a provincial holiday.”
