Friday, September 30th is the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a day to recognize the tragic legacy of the residential school system and the ways it continues to affect Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It is a day to mourn the children who did not return from residential school and to honour the survivors, their families, and the resilience of their communities.

To allow for reflection on this important day, the Courts will be closed except for certain matters that must be heard.

In the Ontario Court of Justice, only Weekend and Statutory Holiday (bail) courts will operate.

In the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, urgent matters such as those heard on statutory holidays will be heard.

In the Court of Appeal for Ontario, no motions or appeals are scheduled for that day.

Courts will be operating as usual this coming Monday, September 19, 2022. The day has been designated a "Day of Mourning" by the provincial government, and Ontarians are encouraged to observe a moment of silence around 1:00 pm. Federal offices (e.g., Canada Post, Service Canada) will be closed.
