Friday wear ORANGE
Orange Shirt Day is held every September 30th. It’s a day to honour Residential School survivors and for schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. As students around the country return to school, we recognize that the return to school for many Indigenous children throughout the history of what is now Canada meant a loss of self-esteem, language, culture and well-being. Teachers will make age-appropriate choices about how to address the meaning of Orange Shirt Day with their classes. We encourage all students to wear an Orange Shirt on —- (Friday, September 28th) to show their commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.
