Orange Shirt Day: September 30th

The calls for Action # 62-65 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission specifically detail the process of reconciliation through education. 

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30th. 

Orange Shirt Day is an annual event started in 2013 to recognize the legacy of Residential School System for First Nations, Metis and Inuit families and communities. It is a show of support and understanding of the history of the school system that impacts many First Nations, Metis and Inuit people today. 

If possible, students and staff are encouraged to wear an orange shirt or articles of clothing/accessories on September 30th . We ask staff and students to wear orange as a sign of support for First Nations, Metis and Inuit People.
