Orange Shirt day

 

Orange shirt day (September 30th) Is Canada's National day for Truth and Reconciliation. We honor the children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools, there families and communities who are still healing. 

For more Information Check out The Orange Shirt Society It was formed in Williams Lake by the founders of Orange Shirt Day to encourage and support communities to recognize Orange Shirt Day and to support reconciliation events and activities. Our goal is to create awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools through Orange Shirt Day activities, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.
