Filmed at Koerner Hall to Commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Emma Pennell - Soprano David Eliakis - Piano The Royal Conservatory of Music Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, observed on September 30th, is a solemn day to honor the children who were taken from their families and sent to residential schools across Canada. It commemorates the survivors, their families, and the many who never returned. This day is a call to action for all Canadians to reflect on the tragic history and ongoing impacts of these institutions. It promotes awareness of the injustices Indigenous peoples have faced and encourages education, healing, and meaningful reconciliation. Observing this day fosters dialogue, amplifies Indigenous voices, and reminds us of the work needed for a just future. Ian Cusson’s Dodo mon tout petit is a poignant song exploring themes of loss and maternal love.
