ANNOUNCEMENTS
ORANGE T-SHIRT DAY: September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day inspired by the story of Indian Residential School Survivor Phyllis Webstad. Phyllis was 6years old when she wore her new orange shirt for her first day at residential school. Her shirt was immediately taken from her by school staff. To honour the children who survived Indian Residential Schools and remember those who did not, many Canadians across the country wear an orange shirt. Wear ORANGE this Sunday.
NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH & RECONCILIATION: September 30, 2021, marked the first observance of a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, following the identification of potential unmarked burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. Survivors across Canada have long told stories of the abuse and deaths that took place at these institutions. The announcement from the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation has galvanized nationwide efforts by Indigenous communities to locate their missing children. Commemorating this day to honour Survivors and increase understanding of the history and legacy of Residential Schools is one step in a long journey towards truth-telling and meaningful reconciliation.
