National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The Wek'èezhìı Renewable Resources Board (WRRB) will be closed on Friday, Sept. 30 in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We will reopen on Monday, Oct. 3.

The Board encourages Canadians to use the day to reflect upon the truth and history of residential schools, to honour survivors and those who did not make it home, and to take action to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

The Wek'èezhìı Renewable Resources Board (WRRB)would like to take this opportunity to recommit to sincere and meaningful collaboration and reconciliation in our work.

Ways you can recognize the day
If you are in Yellowknife, the Dene Nation will be hosting a community barbecue at Somba K’e Civic Plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
