We wear orange today, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day), to:
Honour Survivors: Wearing orange shows respect for Survivors of residential schools and their families, acknowledging their strength and resilience.
Remember the Children: It keeps the memory of the children who never came home alive, so their stories are never forgotten.
Acknowledge the Truth: It reminds Canadians of the painful truths of the residential school system and its lasting impact on Indigenous communities.
Commit to Reconciliation: Wearing orange signals a willingness to listen, learn, and work toward meaningful change so that future generations can grow in pride, culture, and identity.
