Orange Shirt Day March for Reconciliation 2019
September 27, 2019
September 30th has been declared Orange Shirt Day annually, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and well-being, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters. The acknowledgement started in 2013.
