HOW TO OBSERVE

This is a day intended to patch up relationships.  Misunderstandings, unintended words or actions and simply an unforgiven mistake can tear apart relationships.  National Reconciliation Day is the time to take that step and make amends.  It’s not too late.  Reach out to that friend or loved one and make a fresh start.  Use #ReconciliationDay to post on social media.

HISTORY
