Event Details:

Since 2013, Orange Shirt Day has been recognized as a day for schools and communities to commemorate Residential School Survivors and learn about the legacy of the residential school system. This day was initially based on Phyllis (Jack) Webstad's story.  Since last year, September 30 has also been recognized by the federal government as the annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.    It is important to recognize and understand the lasting impacts and current realities that continue to impact Indigenous students and families.
