September 30, 2022 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day honours the stolen children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. It is a public commemoration of this horrific, tragic and painful part of Canadian history.

Here's a few things you can do to support the spirit and intent of this day:

• Wear an orange shirt and learn the significance of this gesture.
• Read the 94 calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation Final Report released in 2015.
• Take the time to learn about the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
• Learn how to acknowledge the land we live on.
• Create and support spaces for Indigenous Peoples to speak and listen to what they're saying.

We encourage our staff, students and followers to take this time to reflect, learn, mourn and support the voices that need to be heard.

As a UBP student, I have the opportunity to improve my English, grammar, writing reading, and also citation and reference styles. To me this is a great experience to learn about other cultures and whatever styles, different from Mexico (because I am from Mexico).Take your time and come here to Halifax Language Institute of Canada because it's going to be great for your life. It will change the way you think about life."

"The teacher's here are very helpful. One thing [that you should do], you should be willing to ask questions. As long as you ask questions, they will try to give you a satisfying answer. Also, here you can find people from different nationalities. You can learn about more than just one culture, like Colombia, Brazil, France, Spain, and many other countries. So, it's a chance for you to meet people from other parts of the world."
