Orange Shirt Day – Wednesday, September 30

On September 30, we wear orange! This year, HWDSB will be observing Orange
Shirt Day: A Day To Remember Children Taken to Residential Schools on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
Orange Shirt Day is about learning the history of Residential Schools and how it still affects
people today. We wear orange to honour the lives of Indigenous children who were taken from
their homes and families to live in Residential Schools. Wearing orange shows that we care and
we won’t forget.
