National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has sparked a movement that’s raised more than $45,000 for Indigenous organizations.Joshua Hensman, a city government worker, said he decided to donate a day’s worth of earnings because he felt “conflicted” about being paid for the national holiday on Sept. 30.“I was a relatively privileged white guy and I was going to be getting a paid day off on a day that was supposed to be recognizing and honouring Indigenous peoples, and that just didn’t seem right to me,” Hensman said.
