On Monday, September 30, MANL’s offices will be closed in honour of the children impacted by residential schools, as well as their families and communities. We acknowledge the harm that colonization has caused Indigenous Peoples of this land, and encourage our members and all Canadians to use this day as an opportunity to reflect, learn, and consider how your actions can benefit the indigenous communities in your area.
