September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,
and Orange Shirt Day!
In order to honour those impacted by the painful legacy of residential schools and the deep wounds they left on Indigenous families and communities, it is critical that we take a moment to reflect, remember, and commit to a better future together.
Wearing orange on this significant day is one of the most visible ways to support Truth and Reconciliation. Orange has become a symbol of solidarity with Indigenous communities and has a long history. The orange shirt symbolizes the resilience and strength of survivors and their families. Wearing orange on September 30th is a simple but powerful way to recognize the pain and suffering endured by Indigenous children and families in the residential school system. It serves as a visual reminder that we are committed to acknowledging our history's truths and working towards a more just and inclusive future.
Here are some book recommendations to help you understand the history and
ongoing efforts towards Truth and Reconciliation:
