Orange Shirt Day : Thursday, September 30th

On Thursday, Sept 30th, our staff and students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt to demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation and continuing the dialogue about residential schooling.

 

The slogan for Orange Shirt Day is "Every Child Matters". We look forward to observing Orange Shirt Day with our staff and students. 

This annual event started in 2013 to recognize the legacy of Residential School System for First Nations, Metis and Inuit People and communities. It is a show of support and understanding of the history of the school system that continues to impact many First Nations, Metis and Inuit people today. Each class will take time on that day to reflect on and discuss the significance of the "Orange Shirt" by participating in school wide activities. Understanding and acknowledging our shared history is a vital part of working towards a better future.
