IMPORTANT DATES

September 30th   Orange Shirt Day – See Below

We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

ORANGE SHIRT DAY

Today is Orange Shirt Day. The Every Child Matters Campaign began in 2013, and is a day where communities come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope. Acknowledging this day increases awareness about the tens of thousands of Indigenous children throughout Canada who were removed from their homes and communities and sent to residential schools. Today is an opportunity for us as staff and students to participate in Reconciliation by wearing an orange shirt.  Thank you to everyone for your participation!!!!

Residential schools were church-run schools where approximately 150,000 Métis, Inuit and First Nations children were sent between the 1860s and the 1990s. The schools harmed Indigenous children by removing them from their families, forcing them to speak English or French instead of their ancestral languages, disconnecting them from their culture and traditions and forcing them to adopt Christianity in order to assimilate into Canadian society. The government has since acknowledged that this approach was wrong, cruel and ineffective, and offered an official apology to the Indigenous people of Canada in 2008.
