ONTARIO — Ontario Court of Justice offices are closed today for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, according to the court’s official notice.

Only its weekend and statutory-holiday bail courts will operate on Wednesday, September 30. The notice, published September 28, applies to all Ontario Court of Justice court offices.

The court describes the day as a time to remember children who did not return from residential schools, honour Survivors and their families, and reflect on the system’s continuing effects on Indigenous Peoples.

This report concerns the Ontario Court of Justice. Readers with matters in other courts or tribunals should consult those institutions’ own notices rather than assume the same arrangements apply.
