Orange Shirt Day
Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.The day honours the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.  The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
This year, ADJH will observe both The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on Friday, October 29. 
We are encouraging staff and students to wear orange this Friday to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.
